Pros

To understand what I love about this company you need to know 2 things: 1) Fred Luddy, the founder of ServiceNow, made a billion dollars and then came back the next day and worked harder than anyone else. In fact he still commits as much or more code than anyone else. 2) It's a culture of making the customer happy... and we have a TON to keep happy! I love my job because I know that literally thousands of people will actually use the things that I build. This is why I occasionally choose to work extra hours... not because it's expected of me. But taking time off is encouraged and I never count my days because of the unlimited vacation policy! Our teams are growing fast but they have made organizational changes all the way up to support it. So I always know who I can go to and get a straight answer. We get to choose our project management style although scrum is the most popular. I get to work with some of the best engineers in the world, many of them great teachers! I am stretched and challenged every week. I have been blessed with opportunities to travel to exciting places to work on exciting projects. The free snacks are legit: kind bars, peanut m&ms, hint water, greek yogurt... really nice perk. The quarterly bonuses are awesome. First time in my career that I've ever actually gotten what I've been promised. Last but not least... I get state of the art hardware and software, literally the best tools to do my job.

Cons

Test, test, test. If you don't catch problems with your code someone else will and you will hear about it :)

Pros

Free snacks Leadership opportunities Stable work given current ai market You can get challenging engaging work but it comes at the cost of putting in extra hours Smart and helpful people work here

Cons

Work can a bit boring if not on something cutting edge Dev experience is pretty bad, moving xml files around that contain the actual code, proprietary low/no code platform to build products Full of Indians, diversity is a joke in engineering. It feels like a cost cutting measure more than anything else tbh Very much a checkbox mentality when building products instead of long term thinking with quality and usability Doubts about upper leaderships navigation during rise of ai Pay is nothing near what it should be, especially after stock dropped almost 40% yoy Certain internal processes are difficult for no other reason than we made them like that, lots of reaching out to people for rqts, signoffs, adjustments etc
