What do vegetarian Indians eat for protein?
US tech companies usually have reasonable work life balance. But ServiceNow seems to be quite an exception. The work hour is from 8am to 7pm+, and that usually means no time for lunch (meetings), and overtime can easily go to early mornings. Even when people are OOO, they would be pulled into meetings lol. And thanks to such a demanding culture, my partner finally couldn't take it and is about to depart. People usually don't work that hard in the last several weeks but ServiceNow still has almost full day of meetings one day before Thanksgiving! Most offices (onsite or remote) would be like ghost town today. Reflecting in the past, I've seen my partner stuck in meetings for hours while being sick. It's amazing to see this kind of culture enduring in the last many years 😆 I get it finance orgs have different cultures than eng, but I just feel so bad as people can't have a normal life. Tc: ~600k #servicenow
I always thought service now had good wlb.. Hearing this hectic schedule for the first time
If you check the reviews of them, you’ll see that (like most companies) WLB is highly team/org specific.
What is your partners TC? And what do you do in Robin Hood to get 600TC?
It purely depends on the team
Wtf are u taking about my team has <35 hrs weeks
That's why I'm like htf this Now org is so messed up lol. They literally had all day meetings from 8am till 3pm today, right before Thanksgiving!
We are in a middle of new product launch, but we already have 20 plus existing plugins that we have to support, I don’t like how management dumps bunch of products in the market without any vision but to bank small term gains. Again this is from an engineer’s POV, from business’ POV this might be only way to succeed in SAAS
It’s just their team. I know people working 25 hours
Finance organization is always messed up, undersourced, underpaid and over worked with high stress and zero appreciation. There are constant deadlines (everyweek at minimum), rain or shine, death or birth. Deadlines are deadlines.
I worked all day yesterday mostly because sales was riding me. They are trying to hit their Q4 quotas and they seem to think we all work for them. Normally, I’d be like whatever but this team has gone to my manager in the past and tried to get me kicked off projects when I have pushed back against them.
Because unlike most US tech companies that expect offshore teams to stretch late evenings to accommodate US timezones, ServiceNow encourages equal efforts from both US and APAC teams in maintaining WLB - or atleast that’s what I’ve seen in my team and adjacent teams. Definitely not seen pulling into meetings when OOO that sounds quite an exception in my experience
If you want to make your 600k, you better put in lots of efforts
I'm not in Now... My wlb is stellar.
I love that burn. I'm a believer that tc is not really given based on merit so OP helps prove my point. It's not like harder work == higher TC or wealth. All luck.
