Pros

Working at Scientific Games, formally WMS Gaming, was a wonderful experience. Great industry with exciting and fun gaming products. The company is comprised of highly skilled and diverse employees with a fantastic culture. The Chicago office is particularly special with state-of-the-art architecture right on the Chicago River!

Cons

After two mergers, and subsequent lay-offs, the morale was extremely low and the culture became decayed.
