Pros

Some really awesome individuals work here. At times, it can almost feel like you're working with friends. The company still has that tech startup feel (ie. snacks, special events, etc).

Cons

Compensation: I would not say the pay is competitive. I left my position after two years and got a $20k increase for a similar position at another, more established, company. Work/life balance (or lack thereof): I worked a Support role, which required occasional on-call/overtime work. At least California employees were compensated for that. But from what I've seen with several other roles in the company is that you're often expected to work outside of your usual shift. Structure (or lack thereof): As seen with many startups, you're expected to do some things that may be outside of your role (ie. Support takes on some implementation work, Dev jumping on Support calls, etc). Fair enough. But this is a company that has been in business since 2013. Internal processes need to better defined or improved.

Pros

- I love the salary setup. Base plus quarterly bonus based on last quarter's sales. -Startup feel. So I had some skin in the game to take ownership of assignments and clients presentations, as well as doing tasks that's not on responsibilities. Great experience. -Smart people in tech and sales. -The CEO David Loo was awesome. Loved hearing ServiceNow startup stories. -Had a supportive manager and team at the time.

Cons

- No internal parental leave benefits outside of FMLA. - Experienced layoffs. Saw some morale went down. - No direction in terms of path moving forward on how to sell the tech. - Felt burnout after presentations, when you have to manage more than 3 clients, the tons of learning and recitation I had to endure to be an expert in the product...and then being able to present that information to skeptical clients very clearly.
