Pros

Service Now is a place where you are empowered to make thing happen. I don't have to ask for permission; I am trusted to make most decisions on my own. I am allowed, expected even, to make mistakes. (But not big ones, nor make the same mistake over and over.) That, combined with a refreshing lack of overhead and bureaucracy, make me feel like I can make a difference every day. And the speed the company moves at allows me to see the impact of my actions almost immediately. I have found their base base and benefits to be competitive. And contrary to others reviews I have read, I have gotten well ABOVE my target bonus almost every quarter. But to be clear not everyone does and it certainly not guaranteed. Part of the culture is pay for performance. Do a great job and get a great bonus. Do a poor job and get a poor bonus. I really like this as it helps to ensure that only high performers stay at the company and I enjoy working with the best!

Cons

This probably the toughest job I have ever had. The challenges of maintaining the rocket-ship trajectory growth-rate are ... well... hard and sometimes daunting, to say the least. And the 24x7 world of a SAAS company makes it hard to unplug.

Pros

The coworkers within my department get along really well. Management and directors are really focused on scaling and growth. The quarterly bonus pool has been pretty generous, it is dependant on financial performance. The benefits are very good, company perks are very generous.

Cons

Some operations departments are not staffed enough to accomodate time off without other people covering for them. No defined salary increase system.

Pros

free to set your own hours. Free to travel Free to set your project schedule

Cons

Company has no idea what they are doing. They assign program managers with no thought to strategy. Program managers are then expected to just magically align with leaders and tell them what is wrong with their area... A recipe for disaster and it always turns into a mess. ServiceNow is held together by its smart development team and great platform.. However internally they are struggling for direction, have no sense of strategy and if you are not in sales or development - you are treated like crap. Good luck on getting your bonus.. Classic bait and switch- they say you can earn a wonderful bonus yet no one does. They fire employees at random with no process or warning. They eliminate entire departments the same way. This is a company run by fear with little regard for humans. Stay away. Or better yet ask for a guarantee on your bonus for the first six months. Forgot to mention bonuses are every quarter- so you are being constantly re-evaluated. you will NEVER EVER get your bonus for the entire. year. Toxic and hostile - stay away. There are plenty of well run companies and this is not one of them.
