Pros

Nothing you can't find elsewhere and worth wasting your time and energy.

Cons

- Toxic environment with really bad, unworthy and unethical management that can endanger your psychological and emotional well-being. - HR is totally incompetent and indifferent (you are only a number to them). - Sweatshop working conditions, disorganized, using obsolete technologies. - No career plan, personal development.

Pros

Friendly peers and a nice office environment. Maybe some career opportunities are possible given so many people are leaving the company.

Cons

Pretty much everything else. Managers treat people like dirt, bossing them to hit deadline after deadline, lack of resources, low pay, long hours, and a lot of design debt which teams are not given the time to fix. Because of all this, there has been a significant employee turnover, especially during the past year. Culture-wise, I'd say this company is rock-bottom.

Silos getting worse with new Aristocrat leadership

Game development

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Struggling to find something positve since Aristocrat only supports other former Aristocrat outcasts.

Cons

It is clear new Aristocrat leadership is threatened by successful long term LnW leaders.
