Pros

As is often the case, most people there are great, toughing it out in the face of everything else. If those staff could be anywhere else they'd be easily the aces of where ever they worked. I've never seen a more resillent and talented group of people from support, to sales, developers and SRE. These accolades stop at the doorstop of technical management though.

Cons

Everything else. A lot of people who've worked or work here feel like they've come from somewhere worse and have got the sense that this place will be better. It won't, for your own mental health, do not consider working here unless you're an expert at taking your lumps for failings you never knew about but were expected to, or enjoy being gaslit and discovering a new sense of imposter syndrome. Completely clueless direction; constant reprioritisation; get used to being told to do things in conflict with your own experiences; "we have technical debt" is a gross understatement implying that there's a legitimate goal to improving this; false promises and statements in the interview process; gaslighting when doing work; unclear task requirements and deliverables. Endless changing and shifting of priorities and not focusing on the massive issue that every new starter has questioned shortly after joining. Strong sense of a controlling leadership who both expect others to organise things, but then wrest control over the top and fault others for it. Only hiring experienced developers in some attempt to think its more skilled staff they need to solve the problems coming from leadership level. "It used to be worse", a phrase uttered like a mantra. Attrition has been so high that knowledge on the product as a whole is concentrated into 1 person who you will quickly identify as a source of conflict.

Thank you for your review. We have recently brought in an employee assistance program to assist those who might be struggling with any aspect of their well being. Yes, there are a lot of moving parts here at EventsAir and we are sorry that this perhaps did not meet your career expectations. It can be very fast paced and we understand that might not be for everyone. We encourage our employees to undertake honest Glassdoor reviews, whether they be good or bad and we take into consideration all of those, regardless of the nature/tone of those. We are continuously trying to improve and we thank you for your review.

Pros

The staff are amazing who go the extra mile

Cons

The new management team have undone everything that made the company unique in the events space. Now we're just another event tech company, The CFO leads with a culture of fear. Company value has dropped by a third since the new owners took over!!

Thank you for your review. This is the first time we are hearing this type of feedback, so we are sorry you are feeling this way. Hopefully you are completing the Employee Pulse Surveys sent out each week, so we can take your feedback in more detail and work with it to improve your scoring. Our management team always seek to improve EA and we do have to change and continuously adapt to stay in line with market and current competitors.
