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.

Fanatics Betting and Gaming (FBG) 1. You feel genuinely plugged into the company's vision and success - it's easy to see how your work connects to where the business is heading. 2. A culture that's always innovating and willing to move fast and try new things. A "We'll figure it out" attitude in deeply ingrained into everyone. 3. You get to work with cutting-edge technology 4. Strong collaboration across teams - people jump in to help and work toward common goals since everyone is vested in the success of the company. 5. Real opportunities to learn and grow - The pace creates a lot of room to take on new scope and challenges. 6. Onboarding is thorough and actually useful - they make sure you deeply understand the product and our customers, so you can hit the ground running and start making an impact quickly.

Cons

The pace is intense. With so many initiatives running at once, work-life balance takes real discipline to protect. Thriving here means being comfortable with ambiguity and change. If you prefer a stable, predictable environment, the growth-stage energy can be a lot.
