Pros

FanTV is a great product that everyone loves. The future could be very bright if well executed.

Cons

The management team is very self absorbed and appears to have little interest in relating to their teams. Complete lack of transparency, working for a public conglomerate would offer more insight in to how a business works then this opaque 50 person company.

Incompetence + arrogance

Pros

Good package: competitive salary and benefits including gym and weekly lunch. It gives you the opportunity to accumulate resume skills and experience working on a good idea before moving on to your next job.

Cons

The worst of silicon valley's startup culture. A bunch of dudes with aggressive personality, no skills on the technology and too much arrogance to admit it. High personnel rotation is always a red flag and Fan TV (previously Fanhattan, previously Vuze, all the same people) has actually decreased in size. Quite a few talented engineers have come and go, they hire talented people but they won't let them do their job because the founders need constant reassurance of "authority". Not only my case, but other cases of employee dissatisfaction were handled badly by the CEO and the rest of upper management.

Look elsewhere

Pros

Office looks nice. Great compensation. The Product Manager is a reasonable person.

Cons

No headroom to grow. The computer is financially weak with a product that has to reach million of people, yet nobody knows about it. Office is too small for the number of people and has no privacy. There is nothing startup about the company except the look of the office. Company is running out of money soon without a new round of funding.
