Pros

ServiceNow is chock full of the best and the brightest. Everyone is incredibly smart and hard working. An INCREDIBLE IT team that whips up cutting edge solutions in record time. Seriously, they're the best. If you work for ServiceNow, work for IT. Incredibly fast paced environment...which is good until it's bad (hello burnout).

Cons

The people team is pretty much a dumpster fire right now. During my tenure the existing CHRO left and a new one was hired...and then fired 2 months later (which of course caused a downstream exodus of leaders). While I'm glad they realized it wasn't a fit immediately, ServiceNow didn't have internal HR until 3 years ago so people systems are SEVERELY lacking with literally no leadership in sight. I've also truly truly truly never experienced so much workplace politics. I had to tip toe, bend over backwards, and even schedule separate meetings with two people who refused to get along. It was exhausting keeping up with who was fighting with who every week. This may not be the case in other departments but wow it was out of control within the People Team. The dept also skews older which isn't necessarily a bad thing in general (and I've been on other teams like this), except at SN I experienced age bias for being younger. It sucked and really made me feel like me and my ideas weren't valued. If the conditions on the People Team were different, I would have LOVED to stay with ServiceNow for several more years but ultimately decided that my mental health was more important than a paycheck.

Pros

ServiceNow truly believes in treating its employees as people with lives, needs and desires. We are a rapidly growing company, and there are massive opportunities for career growth, encouraged by the company. The culture is collaborative, inclusive, diverse, and energetic. It is easy to stay excited about the future here, both from internal culture and external success!

Cons

We need more engineers to help us grow. We don't have enough people to help us get to where we need to be.

Pros

The product really does work and remains one of the strongest in the market. In general there is a strong sense of team across the organization. There is unlimited growth as platform can be adapted to do most anything. Compensation, particularly when including stock options is top end of the market.

Cons

As is inevitable with growth and being a publicly traded company has begun to overcomplicate what was a beautifully simplistic product, licensing model and customer first/driven culture where both clients and employees benefited. This has led to the need to be a mathematics PhD to understand the licensing model, shelfware and upgrades that now take months.
