Pros

Good benefit package --- medical insurance and 401k were reasonable. Free lunch every workday was fantastic. The environment overall was very friendly with multiple employee and family events ranging from golf to summer picnics.

Cons

In my department, the politics became too much as hiring and promotion becasue a game of seniority and political connection over competency. And once Aristocrat bought out VGT, they began slowly eroding the culture and replacing it with their own which was noticeably more corporate. Less funds were spent on employee events, benefits waned or became more expensive for the employees. My friends still there are not abandoning ship, but very much report it as more of a "meh" place compared to the old days.

Pros

Food, parties, lots of nice looking press releases, benefits and pay are standard for the area.

Cons

Departments don't talk, employees and managers are stuck with little vertical movement which leads to tremendous frustration and departmental resentments. Despite all the talk about taking care of people HR does little and people live in fear of getting fired. If you're looking for some place to get into gaming, this is likely just as good as any place else. Don't expect to grow here, just do your work, take your Xanax and try not to upset anyone that might come after you. Once you think it's time to move on, trust your gut and get out.

Pros

Good compensation Nice working facilities including a subsidized cafeteria Employee events 401k matching

Cons

Silos exist between nearly all departments; no one talks to each other, resulting in customer dissatisfaction I have never seen so much political posturing and game-playing in my life A lot of people with very large salaries sitting around with "big visions," getting nothing done.
