Pros

Good name to have on CV Generally hire good people (excluding management positions) Free lunches, drinks and snacks

Cons

Recent hirings have been weighted on the corporate side, losing much of the culture which made Eventbrite a great place to work initially. No HR in place outside the SF office, and no anonymity - if you had a grievance this would just be reported back to your manager creating a more hostile environment. Lots of internal politics, often the person who shouts the loudest or is friends with the right person gets their way. No career progression within UK office - no transparency or structure in place. Often promises made at interview and annual review stages which are then never acted on. Not a transparent company despite insisting they are - really bad at communicating both at a team and company level, which creates a thriving rumour mill.
