An Insider's view of ServiceNow

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

I’m so proud of the way ServiceNow has continued to evolve as an employer who takes care of their people. We have generous parental leave; benefits to support our physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing; an incredibly supportive community; and a culture of trust that manifests in how we work.

Jaime

Vice President and Global Head, Talent Brand

What does your typical day look like?

If I could clarify one thing about being an engineer, we're a lot more collaborative than people think. Engineers can be seen as always sitting by themselves in front of a computer in a dark room and code just streaming down it. However, we work closely with project managers and designers to create the best product for customers.

Viviana

Senior Machine Learning Engineer

How does the company support your career growth?

My experience with Launchpad was humbling and eye-opening. I connected with many other early career individuals and discussed imposter syndrome. Being able to voice that and not feel alone in that feeling, I was like, "Wow. I don't have to know everything." There's still room for me to grow, and there's grace there.

Alexander

Diversity and Inclusion Analyst

What is your vision for the company?

We want to create a place where people want to come to work every day and do what they enjoy–where they feel challenged, collaborate with colleagues around the globe, and know what they're doing matters. It is really humbling to work with so many hardworking individuals who also want to see each other succeed and who are building something great.

Pat

Chief Technology Officer

What’s the vibe like in the office?

ServiceNow has always been a place where we work really hard, but we play hard. We like each other, and I can honestly say that in 11 and a half years, I have never once had a single colleague say to me, “That's not my job.” Everyone jumps in and is supportive. I've never had that experience working for another company.

Suzanne

Principal Training and Adoption Lead
