Pros

This is a tech company that operates itself as a hospitality company. The team works hard everyday to help the company succeed, regardless recent changes to the org. chart. The new office is awesome, finally feel like a real company. Snacks and swag have given new life to the frustrated team.

Cons

Contrary to other reviews, VenueBook is having significant difficulty in acquiring users and customers, retaining employees, and overcoming major technical debt that prevents progress. The new office has been a great perk over the difficulty of the recent months, however it does not mask the bleeding we see across the company. The company hasn't figured out basic things: internet doesn't work, noise is a huge problem, and its freezing all the time. Everything is delayed with no marketing department and customer facing teams have been asking for customer collateral for months. Transparency does not exist. A lack of transparency from upper management and high turnover of key leaders causes weekly shifts in product, direction and goals. The company is unsure of the future of the product and the product team is no longer with the company, leaving us without a roadmap to present to customers and prospects. Projects that should be weekend overhauls drag on for months at a time with no real goal or result.

Pros

The last year has been spent retooling the business for global growth - These are hard decisions when made early, yet the company is now ready for scalable growth. Team - the company is manically focused on culture, people and fit - the result is now a very strong team of people. Collaboration is a centerpiece for growth and its valued. Leadership - Honest, trustworthy, experienced and focused. The company is lead by a management team that cares about people, values and culture. I can go to them with anything and feel comfortable in doing so. They actively seek out feedback and own mistakes when they make them. Feels like family and I love being here. The business is poised to take off - this is a great place to be right now! I

Cons

It has taken awhile to get all the right team in place and challenges surfaced as a result. However the company has the right players now - watch for "up and to the right" results going forward.

Pros

Management is incredibly bright, always available and willing to listen to any team member and rewards hard work. They leverage the talents and skills of our amazing team that I am proud to work with every day. This is the first job I have ever had where I look forward to Mondays!

Cons

Working for a start-up means you have to be willing to wear many hats and be flexible, which can be difficult for some but if you are up for the challenge, it can be immensely rewarding! It is a great fit for me but perhaps not for people who like strict regimens.
