Pros

Location. That is about all.

Cons

Where to begin? This business is so poorly ran by inexperienced management that is shows on the faces of every employee. IT is toxic here, extremely badly ran and a lot of decisions are made far too quickly with little planning or enterprise level considerarion. I wouldn't recommend working here to anybody. Joining this company was the worst decision I have made in years.

Thank you for posting your review - feedback is always invaluable to us. You may be interested to learn that we recently set up an internal people and culture group, which has enabled us to address all sorts of ideas received directly from our staff. We have subsequently been able to instigate numerous positive changes at Racing Post and are looking forward to continuing to do so for the long-term wellbeing of everyone in the business. What’s more, we are confident that your former colleagues working in the IT team will considerably benefit from a more permanent managerial structure in this department. We are only sorry that you did not enjoy a more positive experience during your time here but are grateful for your comments.

Pros

- First-hand experience working in sports & emerging sports betting field - Fully remote in US - Trying new ideas is strongly encouraged - Worked with a great team (though most of us were laid off recently so take that with a grain of salt)

Cons

- Stop-and-go US market growth in sports betting makes for volatile business outlook - Business growth stagnated, now layoffs taking place due to upper management failures - Promotions, raises and bonuses very hard to come by
