Pros

Fanatics is an exciting up and coming company. They have worked very hard over the past couple of years to build a great culture. The speed at which they are growing opens up fantastic opportunities for professional growth. Fanatics has offices and fulfillment centers across the country. The deals Fanatics has made with all the major leagues (NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, MLS) and several NCAA schools really helps secure the future of this company. Additionally, it really allows the company to provide very unique experiences for our Fans! I absolutley love working for this company and so glad I made the decision to join this team!

Cons

For such a large company it is still in the startup mind set in some aspects of the company. This mindset can be good and challenging at times. They are working to improve several aspects of the company to help propel it into the next level of the business.

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

Benefits are fine, some coworkers can be great

Cons

There's a major disconnect between the company, and employees and customers and it shows in any talk with leadership. There's a distinct underlying boys club culture that I don't think they will ever be rid of. They are hyper focused on AI usage, to the point that it feels like a resentment towards workers for not figuring out how to replace us with it yet. They are expecting more work for the same pay and are now holding a magnifying glass to the employees with a new project tracking system, layoffs feel inevitable and the work was already unrewarding. Skill stagnation is expected, many coworkers who have worked there for years claim there's few opportunities to be promoted or learn something new. As a designer you will feel more like a pixel pusher, after needing to wrestle with the AI they are pushing onto the customers that don't want it. Leadership is allowed to live wherever they want, everyone else is required to be in office. Unfortunately the job is only worth it if it's remote.
