Good place for the sales workforce, a graveyard for engineers

Pros

The company invested heavily on sales and marketing workforce. It is good to see the brand name everywhere.

Cons

As the other reviews illustrate, the organization is heavily focused on marketing and sales investments. For engineers, there is little to no opportunity to learn and adopt modern technologies, as the platform forces all application development to be done in JavaScript.

Engineers with server-side skills will have no opportunity to build on that skill unless you are in the platform team. Also, limited engineering roles can apply frameworks outside of native JavaScript, such as React or Angular.

It's a graveyard for an engineer's career if you are in the growing mode and looking for a position where you can learn and grow during the projects.

Advice to Management

The world of SaaS competition is moving a million miles an hour. Simply changing the color of a logo does not reflect customer empathy, and the poor UX is real for most people using ServiceNow. Please open your eyes and mind and allow the innovation and creativity of engineers to grow, despite the current platform having helped the company to grow.
