Pros

1. Interesting technical and organisational challenges. 2. A lot of math, statistics and big data handling and visualization. 3. Kinda startup - relatively open to a new ideas, technologies, designs, etc. 4. Smart, talented and friendly people to work with. Amazing multicultural environment. 5. Good salary and perks.

Cons

1. Almost no processes - neither in software development, nor in administrative area and carrier development. No requirements are gathered and there are no product owners, so nobody really knows how the things work and what should be done. 2. Bad management - the people from sales department give unreal promises to the customers without any communication with the developers, then the development managers push you hard to try to satisfy these unreal expectations. They don't cate about your opinion (though they say it differenty) and estimations. 3. Too many personal is being put into professional relations. 4. Management is rude sometimes. 5. A tons of micromanagement. 6. No clear path to grow your carrier. 7. Working with the casinos could be a personal probalem for someone.

Pros

The grunt work team is fantastic to work with. They are great people, who try very hard to help accomplish goals.

Cons

The upper management chose to hide vital information from everyone until the company basically died. At no point did any of the financial numbers presented in various all-hands meetings indicate how bad the company was doing. This lead to reduction of the entire staff to around 5 people. Everyone who saw the actual numbers were able to see the writing on the wall and leave before the implosion. Everyone else was left blindsided.
