Working - Software Engineer II SDE2 Fan TV Employee Review

the best part about Fanhattan is getting up everyday and working with the brightest minds in silicon valley and hollywood to invent the future. this is a great company in the making and there is a strong vibe in the office that we are all in this together. it's the perfect example of that silicon valley start-up. great perks like membership to equinox gym, catered lunches, movie nights, great 401k and health care. strong management team and leadership.

the company is growing so fast, we are all packed in the office... but that is a temporary situation.

It is a place where you can learn how to screw things up. (If you see this is an experience worth of learning)

People who was hired believed in the idea and wanted to do something great with their talents. The reality is that the management is in control of everything. CEO won't talk to non management employees and won't come up with solutions to try to improve communication and trust. Luck of transparency was a huge issue in a team with only around 35 employees. Too many hierarchy within such a small team where you have around 8 to 10 managers (VPs and Directors) to 20 to 25 engineers. No trust can be learned due to ignorance of the management team that believes in "protecting" CEO from noises and have total control of the product direction. To company who is thinking of hiring any of the directors and VPs from this company. Don't do that. They will destroy your company and make your employees miserable.
