More VPs, EVPs and C-level execs than can be believed. By the time you finish counting the levels between you and the CEO, they’ll add yet another level. It’s mind-boggling.
Handling of projects. Where to even start with this one? Every request is last minute and due yesterday. Useless, endless meetings just to argue about whose fault it is that a project isn’t delivered on time. Lots of self-patting on the back for the higher-ups when something does eventually go through, even when it’s always down to the hard work of us ‘plebs’ at the bottom of the pile.
The pay is ridiculously low for the gaming industry (unless you’re one of the many higher-ups referred to previously, then you’re pretty much godlike).
‘Hybrid’ working policy: they inexplicably force you to come to the office 3 times a week and monitor you through your entry card. We were actually told, at a company event by the CEO at the time, that we could ‘see ourselves out’ if we disagreed with their so-called hybrid working policy. They claim to offer flexibility through one-off exemptions for working from home but there are about 4 reasons you can pick from. God forbid you’re a parent and your kid is sick.
About as transparent as a brick wall. One day you’re being complimented in a call with 300 invitees easy; the next day you’re being told your position is redundant.
To sum up: when Bally’s bought Gamesys, it sucked up whatever soul it had. What was once a nice place to work became just another evil corporation.
