Pros

Potential to participate in a broad spectrum of entertainment. It's a newly formed company that has potential to grow.

Cons

CEO is old fashioned, overbearing and without vision. Management team is weak, self absorbed and jaded. It's the live action version of the Island of Misfit Toys. Too often promises are made, that aren't kept and lies are abundant. Serious lack of integrity breeds distrust between senior management and employees. Total lack of strategic vision and anemic tactical measures result in underwhelming results with finger pointing from all levels of the company. They don't support employees or provide growth opportunities. Beware.

Pros

I really enjoy the job itself and the work I do. If you work at Fathom, you will likely enjoy your co-workers and may even make lifelong friends. The low and mid-level employees in the bullpen/ day-to-day trenches are smart, hard workers, a lot of fun, and are genuinely cool, down-to-earth people. Extra benefits for fulltime employees include great health insurance and semi-flexible working hours.

Cons

Although there were a few positive changes throughout 2018 and 2019, “the offices” in general have always been out of touch with “the cubicles.” A handful of power-hungry micro-managers are more focused on looking out for themselves than building goodwill and trust. Though not a large corporation, everything moves at a glacial, bureaucratic pace. There is extremely little room for growth and career potential; promotions and raises are nearly non-existent. Health insurance is great, but the salaries for low and mid-level employees are NOT competitive in the Denver market, and most people have stagnated in their careers at dead-end jobs. A majority of positions are paid $10k-$20k under the Denver Metro market value. Extremely “old school” mentality among the CEO and some members of the leadership team. There is a major disconnect between the older generation of leadership and the mostly millennial and Gen X workforce. Poor behavior throughout the company goes unpunished, good behavior goes unrewarded.
