NTN Buzztime reviews

Over the last 10 years, Buzztime has been pillaged by a dysfunctional board of directors that ran their cronies through the C suite every few years. About 4 years ago the current Chairman, Jeff Berg, started buying stock on the open market. He's consolidated his ownership to about 25%, remade the board out of serious executives, and capitalized the company to a level it hasn't seen in decades. After his first two CEO's didn't make it (for different reasons), he took it upon himself to sit in the seat until he figured it out. He's keeping the interim-next to his CEO title because he's self-aware enough to know he's not the right person for the job permanently, but he's also accountable enough to do the job until he finds the right person. He's also humble enough never to say any of this himself. Jeff has also taken a page from Jeff Bezos (like him or not) and is telling investors and shareholders that the company is investing in its products and its future, removing some of the quarter to quarter pressure that leads to bad decisions in public companies. A new long-term deal with Buffalo Wild Wings, a more modern tablet-based system, and some fresh energy from dynamic new hires have transformed Buzztime in the short time I have been here.

Work life balance is very flexible, as long as one is available during releases. Lots of room for upward mobility from entry level of all type. Great people to work with in a relaxed fun environment. Flexibility to learn new technologies as long as related to current projects.
