Pros

IGT has really good engineering and architecture teams.

Cons

The company is now run by Apollo, a PE firm that appointed a new CEO, Hector Fernandez. They're ruining the company's future by cutting key engineering staff who do critical work, to reduce expenses. There's no investment in the future, they're only interested in draining the cash out. It's now a pretty bad place to work.

Pros

Great department. A family atmosphere. Good benefits.

Cons

The new transition has gutted the company. Do more with less. Management has no say. The execs that have no knowledge make employment decisions. Seniority or job knowledge doesn’t matter to the people in the ivory tower.Do more with less. No real raises, no chance for advancement.
