Pros

Honestly they stopped investing in the people about a year ago, so there are very few pros. An income I suppose, although the salary is pretty low

Cons

I’ve never worked with such an array of talented people across design, engineering and product, but they’ve just completely lost track of making anyone happy and are so relentlessly focussed on proving your worth and efficiency. We’ve gone from international travel and collaboration to all bonuses being scrapped, entire teams of engineers told to accept demotion or leave. People get on calls and just shout their worth because you will be at risk if you aren’t proving your worth at all times. So many people keep getting ill. If you like Claude leaderboards, chronic stress and an entire company who now have no idea what they’re doing because every team has been chopped up and entire projects scrapped mid way through then you’ll love it here.

Pros

Benefits were great across the board. Any kind of help and support you'd need, they probably had it.

Cons

I was laid off for no reason after more than five years because they're "flattening layers, consolidating ownership, changing how teams are structured and ensuring that we put more energy behind specific initiatives." Or at least, that's what Saumil Mehta said. We've had record profits YOY, and quarterly earnings show nothing but growth. But perhaps that's because they keep firing people before giving them bonuses. Absolutely disgusting behavior from a company, and unfortunately, everyone saw the handwriting on the wall as soon as Saumil Mehta stepped in. Ticketmaster used to prioritize employees AND its users. Now all they see are dollar signs, and to be quite frank, I'm glad to be rid of them.
