Pros

Contrary to some other reviewers, I've found EventMobi to be an incredibly welcoming and inclusive workplace. I've never once been 'silenced' or felt too afraid to speak up. Feedback is met with consideration and understanding when brought up appropriately. In fact, I would argue that feedback is often encouraged, challenging the norm is rewarded, and this has permeated not only meetings but the way we do work. In addition, we have generous employee programs like Lunch and Learn (read and present a book and earn $50), an in-office library, a healthy option lunch, weekly social gatherings, and a $2,000 personal development fund for education outside of work. Because of this, I wake up excited to go to work each morning. Most importantly, the people here are some of the most genuine and capable people I've had the privilege to work with. And among my colleagues who excel, there is a common understanding that success at EventMobi is born from the ability to take charge of your own role, to collaborate openly with others, and to be comfortable "wearing a lot of hats". And as it should - EventMobi prides itself on the startup culture, and no that is not defined by scooters and ping pong.

Cons

The average age at EventMobi is very young, and so unfortunately it has brought with it a fair share of entitlement. This has started to erode the meritocracy that EventMobi strives to be, and every startup should be. That being said, there are growth opportunities if you excel at your role. If you expect a promotion just for showing up, then you're setting yourself up for failure. As a previous reviewer suggested (a bit more politely), go work for a bank. Despite the emotional vitriol on this page, there is some truth to the criticism. Leadership has improved greatly, but is still lacking. Bob has the grand vision that keeps EventMobi moving forward and on the right track, but he still tends to get too invested in day-to-day operations and decision-making. Cross-team communication still needs improvement as teams continue to grow. And yes, employees were politely asked, not forced to write Glassdoor reviews. This is because the 80+ happy employees here truly don't have time for drama. Isn't it ironic how all these negative reviewers complain about high school gossip culture?

Pros

EventMobi has an extremely passionate culture. The CEO manages to foster this common belief in making our client's lives easier, and everyone is hands on deck to make this vision a reality. The strength of the team as well as the quality of the product are a major plus.

Cons

Policies are occasionally unclear. With that immense growth, senior management constantly needs to readjust. Internal communications are challenging.
