Eventbrite Reviews

Pros

This was a nice place to work before COVID-19. It had its faults but I felt comfortable in my role and had the support I needed from my team to do my job.

Cons

Senior leadership seems most eager to please shareholders by any means necessary and are more loyal to shareholders than employees. Do not work here if you can help it.

Pros

-People: Despite an incredibly understaffed recruiting team, Eventbrite has traditionally hired really amazing, talented and motivated people. (That said, a majority have left over the past 3 years or were let go in the recent 45% layoffs.) -Ability to make an impact: Have felt that in all my roles there was opportunity to make a measurable impact on the business -Great office location & decent benefits -Eventbrite often promotes from within and/or encourages movement within the company, which is great -I think Eventbrite intends to care about culture and communication and wants to improve both. I don't feel that's been successful during my time here, but I do believe they want to improve.

Cons

-Poor executive leadership - Has gotten better since Lanny Baker (CFO) arrived, but over the past few years leadership from above has turned over constantly, and messaging has been inconsistent and uninspiring. -Knee-jerk changes of direction constantly - constantly switching priorities & restructuring every 10 months -CEO is all fluff. She's great at the vague, motivational speeches, but doesn't provide any true strategic leadership -On the low end of the pay scale for SF -Actions don't match words. They say they care about certain things, but don't back that up with the decisions they make

Pros

Good-hearted and smart people Good brand Hiring good leaders Detailed communications Improving in how we work

Cons

Tough circumstances with the RIF recently Need to better articulate strategies Pivot more into virtual events
