![]() ![]() Then, they blocked the largest slack channels so we couldn't talk about this! Their lack of transparency is the worst I've seen. For example, during this last layoff (Feb 2023), they had a company-wide meeting informing us that there would be layoffs, but totally misdirected us on who was being let go. What makes them bad? Lack of transparency, poor communication, capricious decisions, and difficulty with managing large projects. Finally, the senior leadership and above are quite awful. There's a lot of uncertainty about what that means for the large contingency in Nashville. However, they just shut down the Nashville office. ![]() They are NOT a remote-first company-they love their in-person gatherings. While it's possible to be religious and work here (I am and I do), Eventbrite has an ideology that opposes religion and they push that ideology on its employees through their communication and their community groups.

Also, the dev workflow is painfully slow and horrible to work with. If you're not on one of the teams working with the cloud, you'll be working with legacy Python (2.7) with no hope of upgrading anytime soon. There are inherent biases that will make working here more difficult, unless you come from a Big Tech company such as Google, Amazon (executives value these brands). Those who are more thoughtful, introverted, and in minority groups - beware when joining this company. There is also a level of favoritism as mentioned by other reviews that renders people of a certain demographic and personality to do better than others. Those who excel here are exceptionally gifted at story-telling, often at the expense of real, rigorous strategic thought. Most of the best Product leaders have left the company as a result. A lot of time is spent making decks and "communicating" to such executives, leaving not a lot of time for actual work to be done. Executive leadership don't take the time to understand their customers and come up with ideas that are not grounded in what is best for the business. The lack of a clear strategy results in functions within the org having conflicting priorities. The organization, particularly its executive leadership, is in denial about having a strategy when said strategy is nothing but high-level philosophical fluff. ![]()
