Pros

Jeans and t-shirts OK, fairly relaxed ethos from management (in this department, anyway), awesome coworkers

Cons

No company matching for retirement plan, uncertainty with CEO and direction of the company, salary and benefits were only OK

Pros

Under the correct management this place could be awesome

Cons

Anymore as the years go on and the management they hire this place will suck the passion and drive you have for what you love to do right out of you. This place will make you not care anymore and make you not want to come to work.

Pros

Product mgrs, team members

Cons

Upper management. One or two gems and some snakes who decide to back stab. I was walked out the door without explanation after busting my butt for months. You’d expect open honest communication about fit or performance, but Fender chooses the low road. They went the extra mile to prevent me collecting unemployment and hired a firm to fight me. No one seems to know why ( I actually had side conversations with HR and old manager after she left) but someone had to have decided that. Unbelievable! You can assume well, the person writing this is mad but actually I am painting a picture that prospective employees have to paint in their mind before they enter. Working for a company is a contract right? u bust your butt, they pay you, you hope to create some sense of stability and happiness or fulfillment and for some reason the other side (management) plays by a different set of rules. Showed up earlier and left later than anyone in Hollywood. Flew to Scottsdale 2x a month because they wouldn’t let me hire a team near me. Odd isn’t it? Quite a bit of analysis paralysis with the constant web mtgs and not enough action on understanding how not to run out of product, key items, and transition out of old and into new products.
