Pros

People are top talented at Ticketmaster.

Cons

New CEO has had three rounds of layoffs in two months. Just fired the CTO and Head of Sales. SVPs are fighting to keep their jobs and trying to prove themselves by pointing fingers at each other for not delivering.

Pros

Benefits were great across the board. Any kind of help and support you'd need, they probably had it.

Cons

I was laid off for no reason after more than five years because they're "flattening layers, consolidating ownership, changing how teams are structured and ensuring that we put more energy behind specific initiatives." Or at least, that's what Saumil Mehta said. We've had record profits YOY, and quarterly earnings show nothing but growth. But perhaps that's because they keep firing people before giving them bonuses. Absolutely disgusting behavior from a company, and unfortunately, everyone saw the handwriting on the wall as soon as Saumil Mehta stepped in. Ticketmaster used to prioritize employees AND its users. Now all they see are dollar signs, and to be quite frank, I'm glad to be rid of them.
