Pros

Decent employees and snacks from time to time.

Cons

The job was okay and it came with a lot of customer complaints which is fine however the uncertainty of the job is what left me unhappy. The new starters who were hired from Dec. - Jan. were only hired till then. No matter how good you were at your job and how much you did for the Company they were not happy at all. Pay was also not great as it was only £350 per week after tax which is nowhere near enough to live comfortably. They also watched you like a hawk. If you went to make a cup of tea or had a back and forth with a customer (wasn't anyone's fault but customers) they'd question you on it and threaten your job. The employees and co-workers were great however management were horrendous. They had people who could barely speak English and whenever you asked for help after putting a customer on hold they would give you brief, unhelpful answers and when you didn't inform customers properly they would also pull you up on that! I did enjoy the overall job and would probably go work there again but some things need to change before that! Parking was also an absolute nightmare.

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.
