Pros

Good coworkers, events, employee discounts. A company with good potential.

Cons

Overall there is a lack of structure on the company, no clear direction. Team work is not a thing here. Constant changes in the goals, with a disrespectful management that uses dictatorial leadership. No suggestions allowed since the managers tend to ignore your input. Lack of values, ethics and will to build a company culture. Was asked to be available for work 24/7, so no life-work balance. Threatening teams saying any other person could replace them, and using fear to get things done instead of focusing on building systems, excessive workload with unreal expectations. Personal Interests from top managers created an internal conflict between departments making harassment a common thing in the daily work. Reporting to HR didn't help.

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.
