Working at FOSSIL in Richardson, TX: 7 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Richardson, TX Area

"Worked for Fossil HQ as a contractor for just over 1 year. Young and hip company culture that reflects current fashion trends. Just over 1,000 employees at HQ. Great benefits such as a gym, cafe and wellness incentives."

"My work at Fossil was great. I worked on the digital marketing team. The corporate environment was fantastic (at least on the digital marketing side of things) and very collaborative. It was hard to get things approved at times but that is like any large corporation. Unfortunately, we had to move out of state so that is why I left the company."

"I worked for Fossil Inc. on contract and found it to be a great place to be employed. The other developers and managers were all very friendly and I learned some new tactics for developing UI/UX that I had not dug into previously but now keep in mind on projects since that time and plan on updating sites I still have access to in order to give the users the best experience, even though I am no longer being paid. I am a team player and will be so as long as there is no conflict of interest."
