Good work-life balance, but recent layoffs concern me - Senior Software Engineer Ticketmaster Employee Review

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

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.

Flexible WFH policy, dog friendly office, concert tickets, interesting work

The past year has started to become one of the most toxic displays of leadership I've ever seen. Profits over the people and the products. There is no strategy and the massive layoffs have left everyone in chaos.
