Pros

Decent salary (for Estonia), very cool office, lots of company/team events throughout the year.

Cons

Management is a nightmare! When joining the company I've heard complaints from different people, one mentioned "managers from hell". After just a few months I understood what they meant. Firstly, no matter how experienced you are, you'll be a second level employee inside Playtech if you are not from Israel. Medium level managers or up, they are only Israeli. Also, they don't respect Estonians, calling they "lazy, slow and limited people". And since they don't trust their own teams, they constantly use the whip to push things to move even when they are already moving, just to show power. Apart from being really bad people-managers, they are not very keen to organization also. Most teams don't have any process to follow, and when they do (created by organized people like Estonians), Israeli managers just bypass the whole process to meet their own interests (using an excuse to be Agile).
