Pros
I loved my time in Paddy Power. If I was writing this review 8 months ago I'd say it's the best place I've ever worked. Fantastic people, autonomy and real progression paths mapped out for dedicated employees keen to progress. Alas, that has all changed with the merger with Betfair. The company I previously admired so much no longer exists! See cons!
Cons
The atmosphere resembles a funeral home. People walking on egg shells fearing for their job. A lot of really good people were let go in the merger, a merger that saw a lot of eyebrows raised with some questionable appointments. A kick back from these appointments has led to a large number of talented people who managed to keep their roles in the merger begin to explore other opportunities. Favouritism towards Betfair staff is undeniable as the management structure is now predominantly Betfair. I'd be avoiding at all costs at this stage.
