Pros

IGT has really good engineering and architecture teams.

Cons

The company is now run by Apollo, a PE firm that appointed a new CEO, Hector Fernandez. They're ruining the company's future by cutting key engineering staff who do critical work, to reduce expenses. There's no investment in the future, they're only interested in draining the cash out. It's now a pretty bad place to work.
