Pros

Energetic and passionate team. The people and talent in the trenches at Event Farm make it a better place to work.

Cons

Unfortunately everything outside of the above. This is an early stage company that has a massive amount of tech/cultural debt to sort through and there's not enough solid leadership to handle it. -Inexperienced leadership with large egos -High employee turnover. Leaders have been burned by past departures, so there's a constant ask of "are you in or out". This is the worst way to engage strong employees -Enormous amount of tech debt that is being handled poorly -Inability to make hard and quick decisions -There is little cross collaboration, especially when it comes to product. Product develop is led by the CTO and CEO who are both co-founders. Their visions reign free here, so be warned if you're looking to join a customer facing team. -Completely over saturated market with stiff competition and no strong differentiators. There's no cohesive go to market strategy at event farm so things move at a snails pace and innovation lives within 2 siloed platforms that were built on 2 competing ideas of events. -Lack of brand awareness because marketing is all over the place. See above, but with no cohesive go to market strategy, event farm has no chance of standing out among the competition. Marketing needs a major overhaul, but the CTO/CEO stand in the way of this as well.

Authenticity is at the core of our company culture and we're the the first to admit that we haven't gotten everything right during our tenure as an early stage and boot strapped start-up. Despite not always having the resources or structure in place to support our growing team, we are committed to learning from and providing for our team as we scale post our current (Series-B) fundraise. Our opportunity and challenge is to build a B2B SaaS platform that accommodates the complexities of the events industry and the high-pressured, constantly evolving job requirements of our users. As a team of very passionate (and sometimes outspoken) individuals, we welcome any candidates who want to contribute to our growth, culture and belief in the business value of human interactions and engagement in events.
