Really sad.

Pros

Co-workers - I would never have stayed so long without great teammates and management up to the VP level. Decent pay for the area, but not compared to other locations. Depending on the department, flexible schedules were possible. Generally family friendly except for overtime.

Cons

Top management makes arbitrary decisions that have seriously hurt the company, both in the short and long term. Our department worked crazy overtime for multiple years in an effort to modernize the product and process and to keep up with our competitors. It felt like management wanted it (and the company) to fail. Other reviews referring to layoffs and firings are very accurate. The company integrity policy (that we were constantly reminded of) felt amazingly hypocritical. It was very difficult to get promotions for newer hires (hurting retention) and recruiting was already hard. Everything from facilities to IT seemed stacked against getting things done. Employee benefits had degraded significantly. I sold my stock. I am encouraging the best coworkers to leave as soon as possible. I hope the worst of what's happened comes out publicly. It is definitely not the same company as when I joined, and that's really sad.

Pros

Flexible attitude to work. Excellent benefits and definitive market leader in its sector. A lot of great people to work with.

Cons

GTECH operates in a very niche market that is conservative to the extreme. Lots of key staff have been there years and lack the up to date knowledge and innovation experience required to keep what is essentially a technology company up to date with regard to deploying modern solutions. There is a lack of investment in training and R&D generally as the organisation is driven quarter to quarter to achieve growth figures and debt repayment objectives set by the shareholders. No long term view and no real future planning. Since the leveraged acquisition by Lottomatica, senior staff work more and more on a "could be replaced by an Italian" any minute basis. There is no real work/life balance.
