      Pros

      Fanatics has one of the best cultures I've ever experienced. There are few companies around that compare. Leaders are so down to earth and communicate with employees - everyone is treated as an equal and information is readily shared. Everyone has a voice here if they want one, although there are always those pockets of people who just complain instead of speaking up when they have a problem. Benefits keep getting better, opportunities are increasing. Keep up the good work!

      Cons

      Peak season is super busy - there is a lot of support and encouragement, but when you work around retail you are usually working a lot during the holiday season. Small price to pay in my opinion.

      Best Software Engineering Job I Have Had To Date; Bar None

      Senior software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company growing. Bigly. Great compensation, some of the best in Jacksonville, FL - and other locations I have been told. Feels like a functioning meritocracy which is super rare. Notice I say functioning and not "claimed" because I have seen it in action directly and in-directly. Good individualized feedback from your direct supervisor. Lot's of 1-on-1s to get in complaints and to receive them as well. You are given the opportunity to change when there is a problem, grow when its necessary, or just be told you are crushing it. The work is usually fun, exciting, and often times, cutting edge. You feel like you make a difference, whatever its is you are working on. Lot's of good modern benefits, DTO being the best. Real and usable DTO. Options to work remote are always available but you are encouraged to work in office for collaborative reasons. Everything seems to be at the discretion of your manager though, so some managers don't have any issue with remote work but the position itself will rarely be considered full-time remote.

      Cons

      We have potential for an annual purge every year... whether this is good or bad... it affects a company's reputation and makes local hiring more difficult. A potential hire will always think twice knowing that they could be laid off in a year. Those familiar with cutting edge tech, know that it can be a pain in the butt to utilize. Company needs more tech cohesion and less tribal knowledge - this unfortunately means that West Coast Fanatics will need to relinquish a little tech direction control, i.e. let other facets take charge of some frameworks/things or co-develop. That advice, I feel sounds solid, but there in lies the problem. There is a disparity in treatment between West Coast and Other / East Coast. Make no mistake, the high tech praise spotlight is spent 68% (or whatever % it is) of the time on San Mateo. Simple to say, it is just not equal to it's shine on the other branches, however, it really isn't the end of the world. There are incredibly capable people on the West Coast, it just feels sometimes that they forget the East Coast is just as capable. In a sense, you feel like the B-Team to their A-Team. All that being said, the company's motto right now is "One Fanatics" so they are responding to feedback and criticisms internally - which in itself, feels good. Most companies probably would not care, right?

      Food trucks weekly, coworkers make the day go faster

      Cons

      No promotions, no salary adjustments - lateral moves, no recognition for talent, no reimbursement for trying to better yourself to enhance your job
