Pros

No track of actual days off.

Cons

What the heck?! No words to describe this chaos, a complete mess, absolutely the most toxic environment I've ever worked in! A great CTO got replaced with an incredibly incapable CIO who brought a complete collapse of the already fragile culture, imposed lots of micromanagement, made a complete chaos with funny processes - I'm shocked, no words to describe it. Yet, he's ultimate hero of the company! Executives have no respect (at all!) toward people who work day and night to help the company grow. I really pushed myself hard for a quite long period, but what is enough is enough. All I got so far was "thank you", "appreciate you", hugs and kisses. Honestly I spent a great amount of time, lost many opportunities, haven't learned a signal technical thing, became even more anxious and all for nothing! Recently the company has tendency to hire lots of roles which aren't really needed. More or less 20 engineers vs. 80+ directors, VPs, SVPs, EVPs, chiefs etc. Crazy, right? Engineers are not being averagely paid while the big money go to execs, no compromises. Great employees are either fired or simply let go and we never get a replacement.

Thank you for your review. We take all employee feedback seriously. As you may have seen in other responses, FEVO issues anonymous employee surveys, with feedback collected by an independent polling company to make sure there is a constant feedback loop that addresses the needs and concerns of our employees. We appreciate your candor, but we are disappointed that you did not feel comfortable enough to express these concerns via one of these employee surveys. FEVO has bi-annual peer and manager review cycles where employees are encouraged to raise any concerns they might have. We offer raises, bonuses, and equity in the company on an annual basis. We also provide employees spot bonuses throughout the year, while providing benefits and perks like unlimited time off, a work-from-home stipend, a live-entertainment stipend and more. We’re sorry you feel underappreciated, and we take your feedback seriously as we strive to provide a supportive and rewarding workplace. Please contact hr@fevo.com — or email ari@fevo.com if you would like to speak more directly about any of the issues mentioned in this review. We hope to hear from you soon.

Pros

I really value the trust that leadership places in its employees. From my experience at FEVO—especially recently—it’s clear that hard work is recognized and that the company is committed to retaining those who go above and beyond. I also love being part of a company that is growing so quickly; it’s rewarding to feel like you truly have a say in our future.

Cons

In my opinion, the two primary challenges at FEVO are maintaining a healthy work-life balance and the inherent uncertainty of a startup’s five-year trajectory. While that uncertainty is common in the startup world—especially for those of us coming from more traditional sports team roles—it can still be a source of apprehension. Regarding work-life balance, while it's largely driven by the demands of the sports and entertainment industry rather than FEVO itself, the difficulty in truly disconnecting remains one of the toughest aspects of the role.
