Pros

Many good hard working staff both legacy IGT & Gtech, middle management open and honest and resonable remuneration

Cons

Current strategy is to increase egg production by throttling the chicken. Sales is a highly regarded focus but back of house is seen as a drain on profit. Current strategies include - No new hires or replacements especially in IT, leading to significant drop in support value to the business needs - No travel apparently everything can be done on the phone unless you are a VP, again leading to lack of business appreciation and therefore lowering of support standards - HR corporate & HR local have no cohesion, providing un realistic salary expectations to local staff that will not be honoured at corporate level - Collaboration tools simply don't work on the Legacy IGT side, so much for no need to travel, combined with two distinct (domains) networks After 20 years staring to see the same mistakes by the new owner, we do miss Tom Baker

Pros

I was allowed to work remotely.

Cons

Salary increases do not keep up with inflation. There were years were I didn't get any raise at all even though I was getting good ratings on my performance review. I was expected to know things but wasn't trained in anything. The culture is very frustrating.
