Pros

Pay is comparable in industry if you are in a leadership position. Met some very talented and hard working individuals along the way. Learned what I will and will not accept from a work environment standpoint.

Cons

1. Lack of integrity in Exec-Senior leadership teams 2. Silo departments 3. Friendships that lead to favoritism at top mgmt. level 4. Saying the right things but putting no action behind their words 5. Preach collaboration but do not practice it. 6. Lack of operational experience 7. Data issues (blamed on system) causing troubled decision making . 8. Lack of support and direction 9. Hiring talented leaders and chasing them off 10. Overlooking current talent within the company for promotions 11. Listening but never really hearing/caring. 12. Senior leadership more focused on symptoms without really tackling the problems-obviously enough profit to simply throw more people at the issue instead of root causing and solving. 13. Total lack of inventory control. 14. No training for systems and job function 15. HR overworked and inexperienced in some cases.

At Light & Wonder, we truly value and action on direct feedback to help us continually improve and grow as an organization. In fact, on an annual basis, we invite each of our Creators to complete a best-in-class employee engagement survey to identify employee sentiment around numerous topics. We just completed our 2023 engagement survey and we’re elated to see that nearly all of our employees took the time to complete it, which is well above industry standard. We are proud to say the results reflected that the vast majority of our employees have a very favorable opinion of working at Light & Wonder, including areas like company values and confidence (business outlook), leadership quality, feedback and recognition, learning and development, career opportunities, work/life balance, and many others. In other words, the data we gathered across thousands of our employees reflects a different sentiment expressed in your review and we are disappointed to learn you had a different experience. Although the results are very positive, we believe in continual improvement and will rely on our engagement survey and other feedback gained throughout the year to enhance our workplace and continue to invest in our people.
