Pros

Innovative Environment – Working at Sportradar provided exposure to cutting-edge sports technology, AI, and data-driven decision-making. The engineering teams are talented and motivated. - Strong Agile Mindset at the Team Level – Many teams embrace Agile and Scrum, fostering a collaborative and iterative approach to product development. - Diverse and International Culture – Global collaboration with professionals from different countries adds value and broadens perspectives. - Flexible Work Arrangements – Hybrid work options and autonomy in structuring workdays contribute to a good work-life balance. - Good Benefits & Perks – Competitive salary, meal allowances, modern office space, and learning opportunities through internal and external training.

Cons

- Lack of Clear Strategic Alignment – Frequent shifts in priorities and unclear top-down communication create uncertainty for teams. - Middle Management Bottlenecks – Some middle managers resist Agile transformation, causing friction between leadership vision and execution at the team level. - Agile Adoption Still a Work in Progress – While Agile principles are embraced by some, leadership struggles with empowering teams fully, often reverting to traditional command-and-control behaviors. - Layoffs Without Transparency – The recent restructuring felt abrupt, with limited communication on the rationale behind workforce reductions.

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.
