Pros

There's a great work-life balance here. If you encounter any issues whether it be problems with software or lack of communication, etc, management is great about working with you to make sure things are taken care of.

Cons

Lack of communication is a big issue, and it's hard to function on a team where all of your teammates are overseas if you're not communicating well. It was not communicated to me that I was switching positions until after it was set in stone. It was an involuntary change that forced me to adapt, but it would've been nice to have that communicated to me beforehand. Also, instead of being trained on the software you're working on, colleagues tend to take on your tasks themselves for the sake of time. For the greater good, it would've been worth the time it would take to answer my questions instead of completing my task for me. Invest in your employees! Take the time to answer questions because it'll be worth it in the long run!

Pros

There are honestly some very talented engineers working at IGT who you can learn a lot from.

Cons

Everything else is a con. -The managers here are downright incompetent, or downright put in a bad situation where they have to manage multiple people. -Usually merging between two companies never ends up well, but it's worse when you get laid off for no reason aside from: "we want to save money" -Tech stack is so vastly outdated and the directors/ management never seem to want to do anything about making this a better work environment. -Lack of communication. -Special Treatment of certain studios/ candidates. -This is the only company that made me have trust issues with people or managers or anything of the like. There is usually politics in play at companies, but with IGT, it's worse, a lot worse. -The hiring process was rigorous, yet the company showed little regard for retaining or supporting employees. After being laid off, there was virtually no communication or explanation. It's difficult to understand why the company invests so much effort in hiring talented people only to treat layoffs as an afterthought. Employees deserve transparency and respect throughout the process. The company has significant work to do in how it values and communicates with its workforce. Kindly learn to read a resume before you hire someone. -Poor executive leadership from the CEO (Hector Fernandez) and CTO has resulted in an outdated technology stack, low morale, and a lack of long-term engineering vision. If leadership is unwilling to address these issues, they should resign and allow people who are committed to improving the company to take over.
