Pros

Fanatics is on the verge of becoming an upcoming entertainment powehouse. Being on the precipice of opportunities can be invorgiating. You are given the ability to provide solutions and to think creatively to improve quality of work. Work challenges can be rewarding.

Cons

Work Life Balance is non existent. DTO is a false benefit that no one can truly use. You'll be expected to work around the clock. The biggest downside is their culture is not uniform amongst various groups. While the team pushes D&I initiatives through a series of groups and programs, inclusion and diversity of thought are not practiced from the top leaders down. The upper HR team is not focused on people culture and embracing diversity. They single anyone out and retaliate against any team member that thinks differently than them. There is never clear guidance on Uniform policy and directions change on a whim. The turnover on the operations HR team is about 100% every year, however no one thinks to question why and pivot to being an employer of choice. They need to do a better job of supporting their people and holding leaders accountable for not being aligned with their D&I mindset.

Pros

Part of Fanatics Betting and Gaming -Work/Life Balance: managers really stress keeping good work/life balance. When I told mine that I had to work a couple extra hours to finish something before a sprint they told me to take another couple hours off during the next week or so. Also, half-day Fridays in the summer! -Remote work. -Smart, driven developers. -Good benefits package.

Cons

-A bit of a start-up nature causes some odd, sporadic development blockers. Not a big enough deal, but can be an annoyance.

Pros

This is specifically for Fanatics Betting and Gaming (FBG), as I can't speak on the other lines of business. - autonomous work with the freedom to really put your stamp on projects - minimal red tape, allowing you to execute and move swiftly - full remote culture, with the expectation to respect employee calendars - stability- the company is careful not to overhire and retain its employees - the people- despite being remote, I feel close to my team and work around people who really believe in the mission and products we provide

Cons

- Remote work is not for everyone. If you aren't letting management know what you are working on, it can sometimes slip through the cracks. - Full autonomy is a double edge sword. It's fantastic for those who feel like their work is often hindered by unnecessary red tape, but it can be a struggle for those who work better with a set structure and routine. - Technology has been improving and the commitment to leveraging AI tools is encouraging, but there is still a bit of manual work still that can lead to human error. - benefits and pay are fair here, but you have to dig a bit to fully utilize all the benefits we have.
