Vantaggi

I think the company could be a really fun and exciting place to work - if you have the right manager and can ignore all the obvious awfulness of how the company is run.

Svantaggi

Where do I start?! Working here sent me back to therapy. The style of management was like something I had never experienced before. Never have I had a manager breathing down my neck like I did here; to the point where I felt I couldn't even leave my desk to go to the bathroom, in case my manager happened to message me during those minutes and then accuse me of not pulling my weight. They have meetings to discuss meetings about meetings - to the point where actually getting any work done feels impossible. When I started there, the team pulled out all the stops to make the company and team look like the best place to work - but once all that fell away it became very clear that it was not. In fact other members of my team admitted to crying on several occasions over how our manager treated them. Not exactly the super fun work environment the companies over the top website would have you believe it is.

Thank you for your feedback. We can say with a high degree of confidence that the Fnatic outlined here is not the one we experience day-to-day and not reflective of the work culture our staff enjoy. Listening to our staff is a critical part of how we operate at Fnatic. Our managers receive sentiment feedback from staff weekly, and we act quickly to address issues underlying any sentiment score below neutral. We also partner with DEI organisation Fair HQ for the purpose of listening to our staff, and having most recently completed a survey of all staff in December 2022, we scored very highly in the areas of psychological safety (7.5/10) and belonging (7.9/10) - scores at a level that puts Fnatic amongst the highest performing organisations who also use the platform. More specifically on people management, we received the following scores on these specific questions put to staff: - "My manager gives me the feeling that we're all in it together": 8.2/10 - "When I talk to my manager, it feels safe to discuss anything": 8.4/10 Our scores in all of the areas mentioned above seem quite unlikely if the environment you describe was the Fnatic reality. That said, we'll not be satisfied until we hit 10/10, but these results are a pleasing reflection of our culture as it stands. It goes without saying this is not a nice review for us to read - but we also recognise a platform such as Glassdoor will unfortunately at times be used as a outlet by individuals to air views that which are not representative of the Fnatic environment. Nevertheless, we respect your right to share your point of view, and will continue listening to our staff to drive improvements in our culture.

Vantaggi

My coworkers in my office were really nice and fun. There was lots to do and never a dull moment.

Svantaggi

Where to start? While everyone in my office respected me and valued my opinion as an intern, many others in the company did not. A particular instance where I was assigned to a project during a conference call, and someone piped up saying that they "didn't want *the intern* to work on that. And that they had *real* professionals to complete that job" comes to mind. That's just once time that this occurred. The company has a small budget and I remember being frequently asked to call companies with software we wanted to use, and lie to them to get extended free trials of the software. It always made me feel terrible. Another budget issue is that this was an unpaid position, and after doing a lot more research into the legality of unpaid internships, this was a HIGHLY illegal practice... Look, maybe this is the right position if you are seriously passionate about eSports and there are things you are willing to compromise on. This job did open a lot of doors for me and I am grateful for it. And maybe things have changed since I've worked there. But after the experience I had, I would seriously caution potential interns to think twice about taking a position there.

Thanks for leaving your feedback. Having joined the business to lead People & Culture in August 2018, I can say with complete confidence Fnatic has not had an unpaid intern position at any point since then. From a personal perspective, I was not aware of internships prior to then that may have gone unpaid - I'm sorry to hear if this was your experience however and hope it is comforting to you that this not a practice that has continued. Fnatic has established a great record of bringing new talent into our business via internships, allowing people from a range of different backgrounds the opportunity to learn from our talented staff and have the chance to work on real world tasks. The vast majority of interns who have come into our business over the course of the last three years have successfully gone on to secure permanent roles in our business too - so to that end I would strongly contest your view that Fnatic isn't a great place to kickoff a career. While I appreciate your feedback also may be dated related to your experience on the conference call, thank you for being sufficiently brave to raise this, and I trust this isn't an experience that would be reflected in modern-day Fnatic. Best of luck in your career beyond Fnatic, and we hope that the positives you took from your time with the business hold you in good stead for whatever you do next. Brad
