Pros

- Challenging problems - Distributed systems - Good stack of technologies - Good people

Cons

- No IT culture - Underpaid - "Elephant in the room" problem - Asked to cut corners - The problems are not addressed, they just go to the bottom of the backlog - Hard to be productive given the lack of equipment and the delay of ticket resolutions (permissions, hardware, etc.) - Employee retention, extremely low Personally - No leaving interview (It feels that they are not working on employee retention yet) - The head of my department doesn't know who I am and what I do

Pros

Good teams pleasant offices

Cons

Has lost its way and it now part of the herd rather than a leader/disrupting the industry Become very focused on quarter to quarter targets rather than the long term benefit of the staff and shareholder Everyone scared of the CEO!

Pros

As Betfair: Well structured security team Very knowledgeable people within teams Great Environment to work Dynamic As Paddy Power Betfair: Things got better only in Cluj and Dublin

Cons

As Betfair: Too many senior managers compared to analysts - You need to have more people to do the work rather than managers with NO direct reports! Incompetent Senior Managers and Heads on crucial positions Seems that you have to play the political game to "improve" As Paddy Power Betfair: Incompetent Senior Managers and Heads (+ Director) on crucial positions More political Respect from top to bottom and bottom up has been lost No planning Lack of knowledge on Senior Managers Less "techie" compared to Betfair CTO made some "bad" decisions with some appointments Clash in cultures Clash in technology and architecture + It was a clear takeover
