Pros

Great opportunity to get hands-on experience with new tools and technologies. Chance to explore the iGaming industry from the inside. Flexible work environment with remote options. Mid-size teams with some supportive and collaborative colleagues.

Cons

The probation process felt unclear. For several months, there was very little interaction or guidance. Only after the mid-probation review did responsibilities start being assigned, and suddenly there was increased scrutiny. Assigned a critical regulatory task without proper preparation or context which lead to failure and full responisbility. There were unrealistic deadlines, and the expectations were not aligned with the support provided. The offboarding process felt impersonal and abrupt. Severance options included waiving all rights, which raised concerns about fairness. Company policies and internal decisions often shifted suddenly. Promises made during onboarding were later retracted. Work was frequently high-pressure due to last-minute tasks and poor planning upstream. There appeared to be internal favoritism and uneven recognition across teams. Leadership lacked clarity on what they wanted from roles or projects which ended in a mass redundancy. Senior leadership felt detached from employee experience and feedback.

Pros

- Department team leads and management are welcoming and inclusive - Monthly 1 to 1's with team leaders which is imperative for personal growth - Career progressions seems fair across the company - Team KPI's are achievable with the right work ethic - Team events have been well planned and importance was always given to them - Training was always provided with dedication - Feedback is always welcomed - The offices are well maintained and plenty of chill out spots if that's your thing - Hybrd work model which is fair - Flexible start times for both morning and evening shifts

Cons

- Location of the offices is not the best - it is prone to flooding in the winter, and traffic and parking are problematic, especially during summer - Some members can seem reserved in shared areas, which may make cross team interactions seem a bit awkward if you are generally new to the company. - Only snacks are available at the office. Meals are bought once a week but whoever works on rotation shift generally misses out
