Eventbrite Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

The company is great thus far. The people, culture, location and benefits make it a very enjoyable experience.

The care for staff and work/life balance are a credit to the organisation.

Great company on the same page globally, striving to be the best in the industry treating their employees with respect along the way.

Advice to Management

Nothing

Pros

* The management has really improved over the last year. I think Eventbrite actually tries hard to make sure employees are happy, but there is something missing and hence a handful of good people already left.
* Great work-life balance.
* Some of the smartest and kindest people. There is a few people who are not that good but there is few of them.
* Free lunches
* Work across the world as there is more acquisitions if you are lucky
* Unlike salary, benefits are pretty good

Advice to Management

Promote people if they work hard and go out of their ways. The pay is low so there is not much incentive unless you make it so (with more raises and promotions).

Pros

- very positive onboarding and training experience + consistent support after the training
- great company culture, motivated and passionate employees
- international environment, creative and techy, open communication channels and the leadership team communicates with all teams
- managers are very approachable and supportive
- great salary package and additional benefits such as cover the cost of transport, snacks & drinks onsite, paid lunch 3 days a week
- work/life balance

Advice to Management

Keep up with good works!

Pros

Usual perks: free food/snacks, coffee, health benefits, nice office

Advice to Management

Seriously evaluate your leaders. Eventbrite doesn't practice what they preach.

Pros

During my application process, I read just about every review on Eventbrite's Glassdoor page - and from the minute I walked in for my interview, I saw the positive vibes in action. I've now been with the company for a little over two months, and every day I wake up even more excited to come to work. There are many, many pros to working at Eventbrite (hello, endless La Croix, delicious and healthy catered lunch, employer-paid healthcare and a host of other perks that simply make life easier), but the best part is being surrounded by super smart and driven people who really love what they do. I also really appreciate the push for strong communication and personal/professional development. Finally, as a woman, I have been incredibly impressed and motivated by the strong female leadership at Eventbrite, both within my team and company-wide.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing. I couldn't imagine a better place to work!

Pros

Eventbrite has been one of the best job experiences I have had from the moment I walked in the door. They were very welcoming during the interview process and had a great training program to get me ramped up. The work life balance is amazing and I couldn't ask for better people to spend 40 hours with :)

Pros

For the most part, people are nice and Eventbrite has great benefits.

Advice to Management

The CEO is a great woman and leader that I personally loved to talk to, but it's a shame that other leaders can't take after that and keep their power trip to themselves. Learn transparency and honesty. If you are going to whisper a secret about another team member or other colleagues, be less obvious about it. Please be more aware of your team members' needs or please evaluate who you're putting in a leadership position before you do it. There were way too many under-qualified people in leadership roles and it just doesn't make sense. Do better.

Pros

Catered breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Nice people for the most part
Passionate CEO

Pros

Through my time at Eventbrite there have been ups and downs, as I think is natural for a company that is rapidly growing and changing. I would currently say we're at a significant upswing based on recent positive changes made to the business.

It feels good to be at a company that consistently wins- we acquire our largest competitors, are at the forefront of innovation in ticketing, and consistently push the envelope. The business is strong and growing and the future looks bright. That success allows us to reinvest in things that matter for the business.

Our physical office locations around the world are top notch - from sweeping views in our Amsterdam office to the typical "tech perks" in San Francisco, there is no shortage of good vibes in the environment. The company benefits are very fair and the new 401k match is an exciting improvement. The recent work HR did to relevel comp according to market rate was a much needed remedy to our historically below-market pay. It finally feels more equitable to the rest of the tech world in San Francisco.

The leadership culture is evolving for the better as well. I feel proud to work for Julia and believe she is an empathetic leader who truly cares about each employee (especially welcomed in the current "me too" political climate). It's a relief to say that Eventbrite has reinvigorated our HR leadership to be more active in shaping company culture and addressing personnel issues.

Work/life balance here is the best of any company I have ever worked for. Time off is not only ok, it is respected (i.e. you won't be expected to work from the beach), and being able to get home at a reasonable hour most days is such a gift.

Advice to Management

Continue operating in an open, transparent fashion - that goes a long way for employees.

Pros

Employee perks and benefits, work life balance, generous time off, paid parking, fun office environment, open communication, culture

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing.
