IGT reviews

Work Life balance can suffer greatly at times. The upper level management always gets their perks, bonuses, etc. Where as the grunts, yea, not so much. We should be happy and thankful for .5 to 2% raises? If they do them at all this year? The folks from 'on high' are so out of touch and or dont care that right now there is a major push to change that via 'employee engagement'. I've heard that before. Prove it this time.

For approximately 5 years, since the introduction of Patti Hart as the CEO through the time after she sold the company to Gtech, the focus for management has been to do more with less. This would typically be a prudent step in managing a company, but unfortunately, it went too far. The people are treated as a number (salary or headcount), and regardless of their talent, they can be let go in the name of saving money, not accounting for the value they bring to the company or organization. Some cuts are necessary, but 4 years of cuts without evaluating employees beforehand leads to the loss of knowledge and great talent, not to mention a tough work environment with low morale and employees living in fear of their jobs. Additional cons: - New executive management - Recently eliminated management bonuses - Lack of focus on internal employee development (varies by department) - Corporate investment strategy - Compensation philosophy (limiting growth and salary) - Values are spoken, but not lived.
