Pros
Interesting industry and good technology - some great people
Cons
Not recommended for project managers or programme managers. There is no PMO or central resource management - so you are at the mercy of the division you are hired within. Limited opportunity to move around and no clear career path or project management specific career development... fine if you are contracting however. New CEO is the Michael O'Leary of the gambling industry.... the cost cutting exercise is fairly ruthless. victims so far: Office Fruit All Staff Christmas Party Kids Christmas Party Free Racing Post Office plants!! Free hooded top for new starters passing their probation Staff joining anniversary lunches Online training portal Funding for clubs (running, cycling, wine clubs etc) Betfair used to be a really fun place to work - it was in the top ten places to work about 5/6 years ago (they tell you this when you apply to work there). It hasn't featured in the top 10 since, with good cause. The stock market float has changed the company dramatically.
