Pros

Benefits, work life balance, self-authored performance reviews, some cool game themes, really talented engineers and artists.

Cons

IGT has more silos than NORAD. Most, if not all, management (mid-level and above) is in over their head. True decision makers are few and far between... decision by committee is the norm because of the silos. There is no lack of ideas from those in the trenches, ideas that could be the next TITO for IGT. However, and idea without management support to execute said idea is just converting Oxygen to CO2. Overall, the corporate culture is on par with a high school senior prom. The most talented and productive staff have moved on to work for the competition. The irony is that IGT is the instigator of this knowledge transfer by way of "cost reducing" layoffs. Most successful technology companies these days acqui-hire new talent, IGT has cornered the market on cost-to-fire through severance payouts.

Lots of good things in my area & manager Good salary, decent benefits

Ultimately did not value employees enough to utilize them or investigate what they were actually providing when layoffs were done in ambush fashion
