Fandango Reviews

you will pay for the free lunch/snacks/coffee/movies, with your mind/body/soul. this is by far the most sexist environment in which i've ever worked. women in executive roles were laid off and replaced by men. women in executive roles were promoted in title, but demoted in terms of hierarchy and reporting structure. women in middle management were excluded from consideration for newly created executive roles that were ultimately filled by men. and when i say men, i mean white men. most of the company's diversity was at the manager level or below. and speaking of the junior staff...there were people there with college degrees working their butts off for a paltry $15-$17/hour. and when it came time for merit increases, most people were told there was no budget for raises, but that they'd see anywhere from 0-2% increase for cost of living considerations. this happened at the same time that many senior execs were getting massive promotions...so i guess it's no wonder there was no budget left for the folks who actually needed the money. the strategy...or strategies, rather...is all over the map. is fandango a ticket retailer? a content company? a review site? an on-demand platform? all of the above? from a KPI standpoint, that's like telling every person to bite the hand that feeds them. who can succeed, let alone thrive, in such a conflicted environment? the aforementioned white men who don't seem to care that there are very real tactical issues with trying to execute their very flawed and short-sighted visions. but no one else. every one else is drowning in a sea of too much work, confusion, and crushed morale with absolutely no compensation, compliments, or even high fives.

Constant pivoting or indecision by upper level mgmt. Undisciplined people at various levels are selfish--meaning they only care about themselves and/or the team they're in. One of the VPs implemented a "career path matrix" to communicate what is expected of you and what one would need to do in order to "get to the next level" but not soon after, a round of promotions were announced without adhering to this standard. This illustrates there is some shady nepotism, favoritism or flat out hypocrisy going on. On the other hand, HR also implements a facebook-like peer review system but insists it will have no power in decision making for raises or bonuses or promotions. So what the heck is it for then? Teams become gridlocked due to too many projects and not enough help so staff ends up blaming or resenting other departments. Incompetence of senior managers dictating policies without serious discussion with team. People burning out and quitting. Do the opinions expressed in exit interviews ever get shared up the chain?? Do they even read Glassdoor?
