The Profile: Senior Director, Global Demand Center @ ServiceNow Three key areas to look at when looking at attractive companies include: Culture! A company is simply groups of people working towards common goals.

Learn about the company’s revenue growth (QoQ, YoY, for example), headcount growth (new employees, new offices, new product lines, for example), and what career growth options exist for employees. You may also see the company’s acquisitions (of partners, of new leadership, of new logos, or other companies) as an appealing factor. Mission! Why does the company exist?
