How employees describe working at FANDOM
update thier site related to fan figures
They make a lot of promises that they completely forget about, isolate you, and make you feel lesser than their executives.
I'm a long time contractor. I interviewed to be full-time years ago, was told I was being hired as staff, then forced into a "renewal" of an expired contract. They said they loved my work, but refused to give me a raise or even review. They offered little to zero support. Eventually they let me go.

I can't speak to any current open positions, but I can say that Wikia is a global company and they have remote employees all around the world. I worked remotely and I thought the company did a great job of ensuring remote employees were well connected and integrated into the company activities, business and culture.
