Pros

Worked there many years with new roles. Excellent benefits. Tampa location has great people.

Cons

Too many layoffs, employee morale is low from the result. Upper management was not organized and they let too many people go that really knew their jobs and did them well.

Business Outlook

Pros

Work on large-scale, high-throughput systems with real business impact. Strong exposure to event-driven architectures, cloud-native technologies, and production ownership. Teams value engineering rigor, performance optimization, and reliability. Good learning opportunities for backend and distributed systems engineers.

Cons

Fast-paced environment with high ownership and responsibility, which can be demanding during peak periods. Teams move quickly, so engineers are expected to learn new systems and adapt rapidly.

Pros

Time off requests approved Interesting and modern tech stack Opportunities to learn KMP and full stack as front end engineer Could be great if placed on the right team Highly Intelligent engineers

Cons

New Management is terrible in betting and gaming division, old manager was wonderful but was fired so an engineer who wasn’t doing their job could step into management role instead. Seems to be a culture of how can I always get ahead rather than excel in your own role Managers play favorites and constantly bring in unplanned work items in the middle or end of sprint and then say you’re not meeting deadlines if you don’t get them done on top of your committed work. Management sucks up to director and gives unrealistic promises to them, then throws engineers under the bus for their poor management if something outside of engineer control goes wrong Manager also misaligns core values with preached values from CEO and company. Was told to take time back if working after hours for on call and not go to meetings we never contribute to from CEO, but then low level manager says the exact opposite and that we have to attend all meetings and does not care about taking time back. Tons of non related engineering work to On call for mobile engineers is a complete mess (get called as first line of defense at all hours in the night for misconfigured dashboards and for problems that are purely backend or upstream and do not affect the client)
