Vantaggi
There is a great atmosphere with no micromanagement, and you’re given a high level of autonomy. Work–life balance is excellent if you stay organized, and the role offers flexibility with working from home. The multilingual team and close collaboration with hotels and providers make it an enjoyable environment. You also gain strong visibility across the wider company, which you can leverage if you’re proactive.
Svantaggi
Once you’re in the role and performing well, moving to another position within the company can be difficult, as your manager has influence over your internal applications. The position itself can become stagnant; many employees have been in the department for a very long time, which leads to repetitive processes and habits even if they don´t serve effectively. There’s also strong resistance to new ways of working, and no ROI measurement framework is in place. which lead to the fact that assessing event success can be difficult because it is based largely on the business owner’s satisfaction—the marketing stakeholders you support—rather than on objective performance metrics or outcome-based evaluations. This indicates that the events team is perceived less as a strategic capability and more as an execution-focused function.
