Pros
Great coworkers, culture, facilities - all of the priorities seems to be in the right place. I really feel like I've lucked out to be working here - I've grown a lot professionally, and made a lot of friends.
Cons
This company is growing rapidly: in user base, headcount, and revenue. There have been many transitions in just the time I've been here, and a huge number of people are new. Onboarding was rather confusing as a result. It's dizzying and somewhat stressful to have to keep track of many immature systems and practices (technical and non-). And the organization feels somewhat fragile - there are classes of problems ( customer-facing and technical) that we seem under-equipped to to deal with, and, while for now things are fine because $$, I'm not sure how well we'd weather a real storm. Things need time to become mature.

Pros
- Transparent. Open communication. We're looped in about potential big changes when they're still just potential. Your opinions matter and are really valued.
- THE PEOPLE. The people who work here really make SeatGeek something special. I work with some of the most brilliant, hilarious, positive, caring, and innovative people that I've ever met.
- Empowering and supportive. You're encouraged to always keep asking "Isn't there a better way we could do this?"Cons
- Sure, all start-ups can be hard sometimes. If you aren't adaptable and flexible, you might not be happy here.
- Going through periods of crazy growth can also be difficult. Occasionally it feels like we don't have the number of people that we'd ideally want to have working on some fairly pressing problems.SeatGeek 2017-10-19 18:52 PDT![SeatGeek Logo]()

Pros
Not only are my colleagues incredibly intelligent, hardworking and collaborative - they are all genuinely good people that make coming into work every day a pleasure.
Cons
There are challenges for a company growing from a start up into a unicorn and SeatGeek is not immune to them. All in all these are typically handled very well.

Pros
So far SeatGeek is walking the walk far beyond talking the talk. I'm very happy I made the move to join a very talented company. It is very transparent and open. The leadership team are the most approachable, and transparent leaders I've worked with in this industry, extremely honest and very intelligent. The teams are all pulling in the same direction, which makes scale less disruptive than I've experienced at other companies.
Cons
Just the seemingly industry standard pain points of rapid growth, but we're not shy to admit it and are working together to smooth the transition from start up to enterprise.

Pros
We care about our employees. I love that I can get time off or work remotely when I need to with no hassle. Compensation and benefits in general are quite good, and there's been a lot of effort in recent months to learn about what works for people and what doesn't.
We work to avoid complacency. Whether it's making the user experience more seamless, making the office a more comfortable place to work, or helping everyone learn how to give better feedback, there's no shortage of initiatives to make SeatGeek better tomorrow than it is today. We know we can't get lazy.
We have autonomy in our work. We set goals at various levels that help inform the most impactful way I can spend my time, and I'm involved in that goal-setting. Then, I can choose, or work with others to choose, the most effective way to reach those goals. I don't feel micro-managed.
We're growing. The business has changed drastically since I joined 2.5 years ago and I expect even more substantial changes in the next 2.5 years. The fast pace and fresh challenges are fun and inspiring.Cons
Growth is exciting, but hard. Between scaling teams, processes, the product offering, and technical infrastructure, there are plenty of challenges that can slow down day-to-day progress now and then. While such roadblocks can be frustrating there are also opportunities to work at removing them, which is additional work but also empowering.
Advice to Management
Keep listening to feedback. As we grow, being able to surface potential issues will be vital. Keep hiring fantastic people. Always remember our core values in making decisions.
