ServiceNow eng role
I’m considering a software eng position at ServiceNow in San Diego. But Glassdoor reviews are somewhat concerning. Any first hand experience?
It's going pretty well and we are growing and hiring despite the pandemic. Let me know if you need a referral.
I really enjoy working there. The type of work varies by team. I like the culture and have learned a lot from my team members. Was there anything particular in the reviews you wanted to know about?
There were a few reviews mentioning politics and sometimes bad wlb. But as in any large company it’s very team dependent, so your personal experience would be helpful.
I haven’t personally noticed any issues with politics. WLB is usually good. There is sometimes a request to help in the evening or weekend but it’s rare. Usually related to making sure everything (tests for example) look good before a release. It happens on our team maybe 2-3x/year. Otherwise it has been flexible on work schedule. There are people on call that may need to respond off work hours too. I think it is usually senior developers that have been working for a while and is a smaller list though (in my group only maybe 4 people out of 70 that I know of)
I’m in SD office and I like it a lot, people are very nice and the work environment is good. As always it might depend team to team but everyone I met in the platform org is pretty chill
I’m actually very interested in a position in platform development team. Would you be open to referring me?
Sure, pm’d you
I heard from someone who worked there the work can be boring. Last I heard they’re growing like crazy - not sure if those plans have been affected by pandemic
