Advice to Management

- Hiring strategies should include looking at people not only who fulfill the preferred qualifications, but also those who come from diverse educational and working backgrounds. Diverse perspectives in the workplace are essential to innovation and sustained business growth. Engineering and product are incredibly male-dominated here, and even in other roles, you can tell that everyone fits a certain profile in those positions. With the exception of Enterprise employees (most of which were acquired) and CX, if you look at the team pages, the racial diversity seems fairly hard to come by as well.
- When results and KPIs are the only thing you pay attention to, and not also the learning process itself, you become oblivious to the problems that can really eat away at the core of your organization. There are some processes utilized at SeatGeek that have higly flawed logic and execution, but remain due to politics and inadequate process reviews. This is the typical struggle with scaling companies, but the fact that certain processes aren’t even in consideration for re-evaluation is very troubling.
- There are some teams that don’t have adequate headcount to support the initiatives they intend to take on, and as a result, many crucial initiatives remain in the backlog for long amounts of time. Quality should not suffer as a result of massive hiring needs, and the hiring plan for some teams needs to be far more aggressive. However, certain teams don’t get the traction they need, again due to politics. This also ties into compensation, and there seems to be a sentiment that a good number of employees are paid lower than market rate, which could be a reason why some teams have trouble hiring.
- In all, SeatGeek is a decent company to work for. But after a closer look, some teams are not on a good trajectory, which is worrisome.
