Pros
While very much a gaming company, Betfair is unlike the competition in that it is much more technology / product driven, which makes it a much more interesting place to work. There are new initiatives all the time. Reflecting this, staff who move on (especially the better ones) tend to move to consumer tech companies rather than other bookmakers. Overall quality of the staff is great. Colleagues are focused, motivated and always helpful. Senior team is very strong and the strategy is very clear and well executed. Great to work somewhere that is really thriving. The work environment is great as well. The offices are very nice and constantly getting better, there is a lot of flexibility about working from home etc. with video conferencing widely used for every meeting. Compensation and benefits are very strong.
Cons
With 6+ offices, there can be a lot of travel depending on the role. The company tries to be data-driven but lacks some basic infrastructure.
