Pros

Great campus, lots of smart engineers, interesting product. Some studios can identify their heroes and do invest in those.

Cons

Below average industry pay, tight budget so difficult to get good raises or promotions with good salary increase, afraid of mass layoffs, don't invest enough in employees to keep some really great ones.

We appreciate your kind words regarding our talented employees and exciting products. We do acknowledge that as an IGT team, we can do more to show our employees that they are valued. Our global recognition and reward strategy is being revamped, with a focus on more immediate recognition, new ways to recognize employees, and empowering employees to recognize and reward one another. At the same time, we are taking a stronger approach to succession planning and career pathing. Individual development plans will be included where employees can identify their areas of interest. Our goal is for everyone to better understand their opportunities for learning and progression, keeping their future in play.
