Pros

GameChanger offers a few bright spots — salaries are competitive, pay is reliable, and the office space is genuinely nice. I also had the chance to work with some talented and supportive colleagues who made the day-to-day bearable.

Cons

The CEO is a textbook bean counter, and it shows. He’s not a tech person, not a sports person, and certainly not a product visionary. His priorities seem to revolve around maintaining a polished social media presence and clout from his DSG board seat, rather than building a sustainable business. Leadership changes frequently, especially among his direct reports, which creates instability and confusion across teams. Turnover is rampant. Sure, every company has churn, but here it’s a feature, not a bug. Legacy employees hang on because it’s all they know, but they’re often sidelined or ignored. Institutional knowledge is wasted, and new hires are left to reinvent the wheel. The product is heavily baseball-centric and struggles to scale into other sports. If you’re passionate about baseball, you might find a niche here. But if you care about broader sports tech innovation, there are better companies that will actually value your passion and input. GameChanger feels like a company coasting on past relevance, with leadership more focused on optics than outcomes. Proceed with caution.

Pros

There are genuinely great people working at GameChanger. The hiring team does a solid job of bringing in smart, capable individuals. Unfortunately, those talented folks often don’t stick around — they either get pushed out or leave on their own for better opportunities. Once or twice a year they will fly or pay for you drive into the NYC Offices and throw a massive party and morale booster. They will shower you with how great the company is doing and how great everything is. We call it Corporate theater these shows they put on. Which is great for that perk to get to spend time in NYC on company dime. On the plus side, the company (via Dick’s Sporting Goods) pays on time, and the salaries tend to be competitive — in many cases, people are overpaid compared to the market. If compensation is your top priority, that might make it worth it for a while.

Cons

As many others have said, this company is being led by a CEO and Senior Leadership team that seem more interested in throwing parties for staff and tossing around buzzwords than in truly leading. The disconnect between leadership and the rest of the organization is staggering. It's hard to believe they even know who works here, let alone what people actually do. Yes, there are good people working at GameChanger. Talented, hardworking individuals who show up each day to keep things running and many of them staying simply to collect a paycheck, not because they believe in the direction of the company anymore. And who could blame them? It’s deeply concerning that a youth sports product is being run by people with little to no sports background. That lack of domain knowledge is clearly reflected in product decisions and strategic priorities. How many of them have kids of their own? The company may tout its financial growth, but much of that is driven by price hikes, not by innovation, not by evolving value to users, and certainly not by thoughtful leadership. Cracks are beginning to show everywhere: more games being dropped from the platform, more upset customers, and a rising number of problems with fewer and fewer meaningful solutions. Instead of fixing what’s broken, leadership seems more focused on appearances and maintaining a facade of success. To make matters worse, we’ve seen a revolving door of truly great employees either leaving on their own or being let go, while others who coast along doing the bare minimum continue to be promoted or protected. It’s discouraging, to say the least.

Pros

Plenty of perks, positive and easygoing environment, incredibly intelligent and resourceful team, genuine passion for the product, ambitious, growing fast, bright future, lots of opportunities to learn.

Cons

If you're not right for the job, you may find out too late. Despite what they say in the interview, you pretty much have to be at least somewhat of a sports fan to enjoy working here. The sense of superiority can occasionally be off-putting and the start-up culture occasionally forced.
