Pros

Genuinely Good people Modern tech stack Good learning opportunity Until the re-org it was Good WLB and peaceful environment

Cons

Bad leadership tanked the company otherwise I was genuinely interested in long term career at Eventbrite for its great people culture. Staff engineers in India were incompetent, Interns were highly better than staff engineers. Unnecessary creation of sense of urgency. After the acquisition, the leadership started showing extreme scrutiny.

Wonderful work/life balance, benefits, and there were many amazing people who worked here.

Cons

Communication from upper management was not always the best. They also laid off our entire team and replaced us with a third party company.
