IGT Employee Reviews about "upper management"

Pros

Decent pay, benefits, work life balance, latest software, friendly coworkers, nice campus

Cons

Like a dark comedy of Dilbert. After a few years of working here, you're likely to start noticing the dog eat dog culture among the game studios, people always arguing how their way is the better way instead of coming to a consensus. Upper management can't seem to make up their minds and would rather spend millions moving entire departments in order to accommodate "their" personal feng shui, when in all practicality, everything is just fine where it's already at. Layoffs seem to occur at least once a year (usually in June or December). Lastly, if your not in the studio "alliance", then you're not "in".

Pros

Cafeteria serves-up a damn fine burger.

Cons

No Game Plan. No passion. Too many people in key positions are there just for the paycheck. Upper management seems to be committed to mediocrity.

Pros

There are no pros for working here. Management is horrible and they will fire any body and everybody at will. No reason necessary as they will create fake information to fire at will. Plus raises are virtually impossible to get unless you are a in the top 35% of the top performers. Otherwise no raises or promotions. This is a very shady place and I highly recommend not to apply for any jobs with IGT

Cons

Poor salaries, no raises, no room to grow, constantly lying to employees, no cares about employees life or development, poor management decisions and does not follow the company’s standards. Only way to move up and grow with the company is if you know someone from upper management

Pros

Variety because of so many different systems. Coworkers are great.

Cons

VERY understaffed, except at the top. They want projects done but don't budget for them and then won't approve the money for them. They blame the employees that couldn't get them done. Upper management doesn't talk to the techs and engineers that go on site and neither do the developers. Bad decisions made that end up in systems in casinos for the people that are onsite.

Pros

Decent pay, part of an awesome, small, self-managed team

Cons

Benefits in decline, no matter how much you take on and achieve you receive the same average rating as everyone else, middle management restrained by upper management to make necessary and basic thing happen, too slow to change to function as an effective organization.

Pros

Generous benefits and plenty of PTO

Cons

Middle and upper management are very mis-guided. They chose to act only in ways to benefit themselves and advance their own careers.
