Pros

Sports data makes for interesting engineering challenges because not only can it be complex, it also needs to be immediate and highly available. There is never a lack of interesting challenges to tackle. Engineering colleagues are great to work with. There is quite a bit of working together with egos left at the door. Sportradar is also flexible with work arrangements.

Cons

While pay is competitive, benefits and total compensation is a bit lacking. Being on the on-call rotation can take a toll, especially since most sport events happen on evenings and weekends.

Pros

Very flexible with scheduling. Nice bonus job that you can do after work. Not too difficult and if you’re already watching the game you might as well be getting paid for it. Supervisors and management are great and schedule very well.

Cons

Hard to get a lot of hours after the month of November. Guaranteed to work at least part of a Saturday almost every week.

Pros

There are some very smart, very strong team members. However, those individuals are leaving in droves.

Cons

The executive leadership team, especially Carsten have lost their way. Increasing demands on staff, while cutting team staffing across all functions, forcing 5 days in office without thinking through a plan and how it will effect families, and lack of raises the last few years has created a very stressed and overworked culture. This company has fully shifted into an "appease the shareholders" phase of cost cutting, do more with less phase which is having a large effect on the quality of talent. There is a constant shift of senior leadership with changing priorities when the actual fix to most problems are to just add low level staff to do work. This place is overrun with Sr leaders demanding KPI/KRI updates, sitting in meetings, and not much time spent doing actual work.
