Pros

Fun vibe, you get to talk about movies all day and the tech center is close to a lot of good food and gyms. Some cool people.

Cons

Little to no upward mobility. Most execs at the top micromanage and are controlling and unwilling to change their old school mentality on business. They are out of touch with reality and it shows. There is obvious nepotism. At least three employees are related to higher ups. Not to mention, racist remarks are made disguised as “movie discussions” and there were a few instances of sexist comments as well. The company has 0 diversity. Poor behavior goes unchecked and if anything good behavior is punished. Finally, the salary is nowhere near needed what it takes to live in the Denver Metro Area.

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.
