Pros

Free coffee, clean bathrooms, air conditioned and heated work environment.

Cons

Management wants us supervisors to treat our subordinates as if they are peons, and the managers will justify it by saying they took university level Management classes that taught them to treat employees poorly. If employees try to report management to HR, the managers will find out who reported them and then threaten to fire those employees if they complain to HR again in the future. The managers are friends with each other and will favor their friends/spouses when promotions and/or new positions become available. Managers value quantity over quality when it comes to job performance. This attitude damages the relationship between the company and the hundreds of casinos we deal with everyday, as employees are encouraged to keep calling casinos on minor, low priority issues that the casino personnel don't have time to worry about.

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well, but it's worse when you get laid off for no reason aside from: "we want to save money" -Tech stack is so vastly outdated and the directors/ management never seem to want to do anything about making this a better work environment.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 -Poor executive leadership from the CEO (Hector Fernandez) and CTO has resulted in an outdated technology stack, low morale, and a lack of long-term engineering vision.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.
