Pros

1. Learning & Collaboration : The learning scope here is amazing. You’ll always get support from multiple teams, and people are genuinely encouraging and helpful. 2. Leadership : The new GM is approachable and has a clear vision to take the Hyderabad office to greater heights. 3. Work-Life Balance : It really depends on how you manage your work. No one forces you to stay late for meetings. If you do face such situations, raising a concern gets taken seriously and acted upon. 4. Growth Opportunities : This isn’t a “chillax” place. If you’re smart and hardworking, your efforts are recognized and rewarded. 5. Hike & Bonus : Except for one tough year, hikes and bonuses have been consistent. A few negative reviews seem to come from new joiners who expect things to be handed over easily without understanding the market reality. 6. Perks : Monthly phone and internet reimbursements. 7. Hybrid Work : Expected to be in office 3 days a week, but there’s flexibility. If you’ve worked late due to an urgent issue, you’re free to come late or skip office the next day. 8. Lunch : Free lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Wednesdays come with a ₹500 Zomato coupon. 9. Office Improvements : Current office lacks a few amenities like a gym and proper food court (you need to walk to another block), but these are infra issues, not company specific. Hopefully, the new office will cover these gaps.

Cons

1. IPO communication could be more transparent. The company is taking steady steps, but clearer updates would help. 2. HR works hard but could improve transparency in a few areas. 3. More opportunities for quarterly team lunches or dinners would be great for bonding.

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.
