Pros

In spite of having been employed at 888spectate for only a few months, I can easily say that it is my one of my favourite offices to work in. With such a culturally diverse and incredibly talented workforce, every day is always different and I feel motivated to support my colleagues as they develop and build a world class sports betting platform for the Global 888 Brand. There is a place for everyone here, and you will always feel welcomed as part of the Spectate family. I receive invaluable support from my superiors, mentors, and colleagues alike, and feel that there is real potential for me to grow within my role. Benefits such as health insurance, life insurance and a pension plan, great commuting connections, as well as subsidised sports & social events and informal clubs (photography, running) ensures peace of mind and a healthy work life balance for all.

Cons

I wish I had more time to enjoy the pool table :)

Thank you for taking the time to share this review! We really appreciate your feedback shared, especially with regards our friendly culture and benefits. We are surprised to read that you have found it difficult to grow professionally, as one thing we are very proud of in this company are our internal movements, promotions and career progression - of which we have had many over the years. Your Line Manager and the HR Team would always have been pleased to give you some guidance on this matter. Further to this, we always keep our salary ranges in line with market rates, and continually benchmark these across the industry, and this is also something you could have raised in confidence with your Line Manager and/or the HR Team.

Best Place I've Worked in My Career ....so far

Pros

The title of the review is a bit cliche but I have worked in a number of companies throughout my career and genuinely nothing comes close to 888 Spectate. Everyone's opinion matters, everyone is equal in this truly flat structured company, so much so, it feels like one big dysfunctional international family. Yes there is line management but these are all developers/QA engineers who have grown within the company and their role is really to lead and develop the team from their experience. I am only 6 months in the company and I feel like I've been working here years (in a good way :) ) The company offers everyone the opportunity to grow, learn and try out new things. The morale within the office is the reason I come to work ....and the benefits aren't bad either. In my career I have also worked in a number of "Agile" companies who like to say they are but underneath it follows waterfall, 888 Spectate is fully supports the framework and Scrum process, which is refreshing as not a lot of companies do.

Cons

Everyone within the company wants the business to thrive and to create a fun, innovative workplace which it is today. There are always a few individuals who don't enjoy their job in every company who try to bring everyone else down with them. As Judge Judy calls them "That one Moldy Blueberry". No matter how hard everyone tries they will never be content. I have it as a con as the office is considered small, these influences can negatively effect others around them.

A Company that Cares....

Anonymous employee

Pros

The Work from Home Support and Set Up albeit not the same as working together in an office -regular meetings, scrum events and 121s makes you still feel connected to the company which is so important in Lockdown The genuine care for Mental Wellbeing for the employees is unfortunately not tangible and is unwritten. But the care everyone has for one another especially in these crazy times is what makes this job. The staff come first over any product or piece of work and that's so rare to find. HR are a small team but their involvement and the genuine care they have for every 888spectate employee again is under the radar but needs to be mentioned as they go above and beyond, rather than just typical "Employee engagement" activities. The flat structure of the 888spectate ensures very little office politics, battle for progression or survival. Everyone works together and wants the best for each other in order to develop new skills, experience and grow professionally. The transformation of the company over the last year can only be a pro giving all employees access to a number of new benefits and opportunities and I am excited to see what the next 12 months brings.

Cons

The company is growing at an unbelievable rate which is both a pro and con- things that would have been agreed quick are taking longer as the company grows and reporting lines are introduced.

Working most weekends but it has it pro with roster being fleixble enough to have the following Mon/Tues off when you do have a weekend off.
