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.

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.
