Good company, not that great of a job

Pros

They really treat you like a human being instead of a number or a "resource". The people I worked with grew to become something like a second family to me. The benefits were decent and the perks were great, lots of snacks and free lunch once a week. Great work life balance for me, but I felt that the product team was overworked and there was not a lot of consideration for resource availability when the roadmap was created. The client-facing teams also seemed overworked.

Cons

Unfortunately, there was a bit of classed separation between the engineering teams and the operations (client/customer facing) teams. It wasn't as bad when I first started, but in order to grow more competitive with other companies in the area, engineers were eventually treated better and given more recognition for projects. It's very difficult to see a hard-working group of people working the front lines for long arduous hours, paid less than half that of an engineer, dealing with real, complex and sometimes very angry people who are merely reacting to the inability of the engineering and tech teams to appropriately prioritize and adequately roll out new features. And then to be seemingly ignored while watching the eng/tech team come up with priorities based on absolutely no data. In addition to this, I had no opportunity for growth and after repeatedly communicating my goals and projects that would interest me and keep me at the company, I was ultimately never given the opportunity to really use my full potential at this company.

Pros

The biggest pro of working at Ticketfly: the bar is low. Doesn't take much to shine here. Pretty lax environment with flexible hours and deadlines. The reputation in the ticketing industry and to outsiders is positive.

Cons

Unless you're "management" level, pay is extremely low for the tech world (well below average). Nothing ever gets done. No new product releases. The system is always broken. Extremely low morale. Extremely high turnover. Low-energy office. No one is excited about the company or product. Lots of new executive hires = disconnected leadership. Unclear direction for company. Professional growth not encouraged.

Pros

Working with clients on-site was very rewarding and fun. There was a lot of parties and a fun atmosphere.

Cons

Manager tended to favor his friends, and was rumored to be sleeping with staff. I witnessed minor forms of sexual harassment on more than one occasion. People seemed to be rewarded based on their personalities and schmoozing skills, rather than the merits of their work. That being said, from what I can tell online it looks like some of the worst offenders have moved on to other companies.
