Pros

If you get hired, it's a job and you get paid.

Cons

The leadership group talks about integrity, but it is non-existent in practice. This company sucks the life out of it's employees, demanding to complete the work of multiple people, because they don't want to spend money on the appropriate staffing levels. Performance reviews are a joke, establishing goals for the year by June and then expecting people to complete their goals with little to no resources. No continuity from a management level, people come and go from this company at a higher rate than "normal" companies.

We genuinely value your input, and we want to make certain that every employee feels supported and heard. At Light & Wonder, employee well-being is of paramount importance to us.
