Pros

Pros were many initially but there has been a paradigm shift. New and latest Tech specs are used. Learning capabilities are mammoth, depends on the team you are working.

Cons

1) Working from home to Work from office, mandating to 3 days. 2) In terms of flexibility, when someone is expected to work with US counterparts late night and report to office next day is not flexibility. 3) Meetings are not adjusted as per India office, people don't even consider if it is a Friday evening. They will just throw a meeting invite at you. 4) Appraisal cycle was moved to another 6 months and no logical explanation was given, if those 6 months will be compensated or not. Nothing was put forward logically. 5) To recent development a new term has been introduced as cost cutting so there will be no team Lunches which had a very low budget already and happened once every quarter. 6) Diwali's gift budget has been seeing a new low every year, so this year management decided to cut that off completely. 7) Bonus was cut short to some percentage citing a reason that company did not do well. If company did well at some stage it was not increased though. 8) No fun activities other than Dandiya and Rangoli.No Cafeteria within office premises, you will hardly get an option to eat other than finding few cookies and fruits at times.

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.
