Pros

Good Sale strategy, and blitzed the ITSM Market, but the Product does not live up to the hype.

Cons

The Product is very old school in look at feel, like all the other products currently available, I see no new innovation or paradigm shift. Looks very similar to HP Service Manager, and carries some of the same terminology and functional baselines. The application navigation is not user friendly and a lot of scrolling is required for an Administrator. Too many quickly developed application that have no better look and feel than a well-designed Access database and associated forms (30 years ago). Most of the Guys have come from HP and BMC (Remedy) and continue to provide the look and feel of these old school ITSM Products and it is evident when you are introduced to Snow for the first time. Software Development Lifecycle already peaked, Customer tipping point 5 years (Top heavy design and poor long term SaaS model). Customers allowed too many customization options and this will become a long term burden on seamless upgradeability.

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
