Playtech reviews

Sincerely, there are ton of things that I don’t even know where to begin: 1. Management doesn’t care about its employee. They do not listen, if you complain, you’re gotten rid of, and replaced with an amateur. 2. Employees are seriously underpaid. Company announce record-revenue and still lay-off employees. Engineers earn salary of a Sales reps. You should either consider working here either at the early stage of your career (with an exit plan in mind) or you’re at your retirement age and just want to work. 3. Most employees in the company have been there for over 15 years in the same role which is a red flag for me. Because the CEO knows some people make them feel like they are irreplaceable which is quite funny. Changing the name of a role to make it look like an internal promotion is absolutely nonsense. 4. There is no innovation in this company. You get zero budget for your personal learning and development. The company only learning platform which was LinkedIn Learning was terminated. 5. Entire tech stack in the company is legacy, archaic and old asf. The company still replies on tech stack from the 1990s and wouldn’t move onto better technologies. Nothing new to learn here, lots of manual work and use of AI tools is prohibited as well. 6. Racism and discrimination is highly experienced in this company. Local employees discriminate against foreign employees, make silly side comments thinking you won’t understand. The jokes are on them, as they tend to display their level of ignorance and exposure. I sincerely didn’t care about them one bit. 7. Took a poll where less than 10 percent of the company voted to come to office. Ended up forcing employees to come to the office 3 times per day which is not acceptable.

In October 2025, while I was on sick leave, I contacted HR to ask for help and possible solutions due to my health situation. I made it clear that I wanted to continue working if possible and proposed two reasonable options: temporarily working reduced hours until my health improved, or termination by employer initiative if reduced hours were not possible. I was told that reduced hours were not an option and that termination by employer initiative was also not possible. Instead, I was informed that the only available option was to end my contract by mutual agreement. This process was presented as urgent, and I was strongly rushed to proceed immediately, with everything needing to happen the very next day. At the same time, I was aware that an internal meeting was scheduled a few days later and I was invited to attend it, but I was not told what the meeting would be about. While I understand that companies cannot disclose future decisions, I believe I could reasonably have been advised to wait until this meeting before being pushed into making an irreversible decision under significant time pressure. Only three working days later, during that meeting, the entire department I worked in was laid off. Had I been advised to wait, or been given a realistic alternative that allowed me to continue working in a reduced capacity, I would not have agreed to a mutual termination. This decision had serious financial consequences for me, as it significantly reduced my income and access to financial support during a period when I was dealing with health issues and unable to immediately find new work. After this, I contacted the company multiple times to explain the situation and ask for clarification or support. Since early November, I have sent several emails and even a formal notice, but I have received no response. The most disappointing part of this experience is not only the lack of flexibility and support during illness, but also the complete absence of communication afterward.
