Pros

Like the fast food industry can be a useful baptism of fire for someone who has never worked before, Cvent grinds its college employees hard and gives them valuable skills they can and should take elsewhere.

Cons

Despite values about being horizontal, this is easily the most hierarchical organisation I've ever worked for (and I've worked for government). Whether its management, HR, Legal, finance, Marketing/sales etc, no one can seem to actually make a decision. Everyone's hands are tied by a policy or a metric that dictates how they should work. Each month, a new metric or policy will be introduced, making the job harder to do over time and making collaborating a slower and slower process.

Pros

Good work-life balance, decent benefits package, flexibility and control over one’s own schedule within reason. Majority of colleagues are fantastic to work with. Generally seems like they actually care about employees. Employee recognition is improving. For the role specifically, builds a lot of great soft skills that are transferable if there’s desire to move into other roles/depts.

Cons

Some aspects of benefits fall a bit short of what other large tech companies offer, but not terribly so. Putting a lot of emphasis on AI, which wouldn’t be a con if not for the uncertain landscape of job security and given some recent actions from other tech companies to fund their AI initiatives in favor of employee benefits. Promotions difficult to achieve at times even with proper performance. For this role, working with customers always has its difficulties and can sometimes feel like you’re the punching bag for things out of your control.
