Great Company - Poor Management - Anonymous employee Seat Unique Employee Review

Seat Unique has identified a significant gap in the market and is capitalizing on it impressively. This is evident in the our remarkable headcount and revenue growth since its inception, which has been further validated by prestigious awards for growth from Deloitte and Sifted. Being part of a fast-paced company like Seat Unique brings many advantages, and here are some standout benefits I love about working at Seat Unique: – Rapid and Varied Learning: A hands-on approach with opportunities to take on diverse responsibilities and ‘wear multiple hats,’ which allows for a more unconventional career progression that can follow your interests and skills. – Exceptional Talent: With highly skilled staff and advisors, as highlighted on the website. With decades of industry experience, these individuals provide both inspiration and strategic guidance for the business. – Innovative and Fast-Paced Culture: Minimal bureaucracy means fewer layers of sign-offs and red tape, allowing employees to have a meaningful impact and push for improvements (so long as they’re well-justified). – Exciting Industry: Working in live events offers exposure to the Premier League, Formula 1, live gigs, and more. It’s a thrilling and rapidly growing sector to be part of and makes work enjoyable & interesting. – Embracing Mistakes & Mastering Execution: There is a clear mission & a culture that facilitates successful execution of that mission. The company also encourages learning through mistakes, fostering both personal and professional development. – Stock Options: Getting stock options in a massively growing company is always a nice touch too, albeit only valid upon exit. In summary, it's fast, you learn, you progress, it's exciting, and I would have no hesitation recommending Seat Unique as an employer. It’s been an excellent career move for myself, very excited for the future.

Only one thing that might be considered a "con" by some, but I personally see it as individual preferences to evaluate before joining: – In-Office Culture: This is a mostly in-office business, which was a change for me. However, the Victoria office environment is modern and thoughtfully designed, featuring clean and sleek spaces, standing desks, well-equipped meeting rooms, access to a small gym with high-quality equipment & showers, coffee machines, and regular Ocado deliveries with fancy breakfasts, yoghurts, fruits, and more. This is my first in-office role since COVID, and I can clearly see the benefits for the business—particularly in terms of collaboration and agility. Two things that are essential for industry-disrupting. So, be prepared to commit to both the office culture and the team (and it’s worth noting that the team is fantastic, with everyone getting along well and the culture is solid). If you’re committed to your career and enjoy an in-office environment, this is exactly where you want to be. Perhaps 1-2 days per month from home would be nice; however there is some ad hoc flexibility when needed. Honestly, the pros FAR outweigh this, so personally, I have no issue committing to what works for the business's success and enjoy seeing the team as it allows for great teamwork

The Victoria office is quite a friendly environment and honestly speaking it does feel very welcoming.

Perhaps at times it can be a little disorganised but generally always pulls through in the end.
