Pros

IGT has really good engineering and architecture teams.

Cons

The company is now run by Apollo, a PE firm that appointed a new CEO, Hector Fernandez. They're ruining the company's future by cutting key engineering staff who do critical work, to reduce expenses. There's no investment in the future, they're only interested in draining the cash out. It's now a pretty bad place to work.

Pros

Flexible with hybrid work options however the degree of flexibility is highly dependent on your team/manager. The work is interesting.

Cons

The ability to move up depends a lot on your manager and relationships with others, not necessarily strictly your work product.
