Pros

Cafe and gym is a great asset of IGT Some really nice and smart people work there Depending on which department you are in, work life balance is great

Cons

Department work is very uneven. You have some departments working all the time and a ton of overtime, while other departments barely have enough to keep employees busy during the day (Mgmt is very strick on not allowing cross department help, they rather you sit there with nothing to do all day then help the other departments who are swamped) Pay in the accounting department is very sub par, people leave all the time for higher better paying jobs There are some people in certain groups that have no idea what or why they are doing, their response is "this is how I was told to do it, but I don't know why or what I am doing" Not being able to be promoted without a degree, even if you have years of experience. IGT is very big on degrees, certifications, etc. when the work that actually occurs there, anyone could do (with or without a degree) Upper Mgmt does not walk the talk - they do not treat employees well or acknowledges hard work, they also play favorites and do not handle HR issues (they avoid them because its to much work)

Pros

There are honestly some very talented engineers working at IGT who you can learn a lot from.

Cons

Everything else is a con. -The managers here are downright incompetent, or downright put in a bad situation where they have to manage multiple people. -Usually merging between two companies never ends up well, but it's worse when you get laid off for no reason aside from: "we want to save money" -Tech stack is so vastly outdated and the directors/ management never seem to want to do anything about making this a better work environment. -Lack of communication. -Special Treatment of certain studios/ candidates. -This is the only company that made me have trust issues with people or managers or anything of the like. There is usually politics in play at companies, but with IGT, it's worse, a lot worse. -The hiring process was rigorous, yet the company showed little regard for retaining or supporting employees. After being laid off, there was virtually no communication or explanation. It's difficult to understand why the company invests so much effort in hiring talented people only to treat layoffs as an afterthought. Employees deserve transparency and respect throughout the process. The company has significant work to do in how it values and communicates with its workforce. Kindly learn to read a resume before you hire someone. -Poor executive leadership from the CEO (Hector Fernandez) and CTO has resulted in an outdated technology stack, low morale, and a lack of long-term engineering vision. If leadership is unwilling to address these issues, they should resign and allow people who are committed to improving the company to take over.
