Pros

The people in the organization are incredibly welcoming and kind. Leadership is sometimes open to questions and feedback - not often implemented though. The day-to-day is like working in an agency and you’re working in the entertainment industry. Company pays for employees healthcare. 401k matching is great. Office location is not ideal, but the building is great.

Cons

Some employees are extremely unhappy in their positions, which can bring the collective moral down. There are a lot of limitations on growth and advancement in the organization. Compensation is extremely underwhelming. Leadership is out of touch with the day-to-day of the organization. Leaders tend to be know-it-all but do no work micromanagers.

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.
