Pros

Interesting problems to solve, some smart people. Made lot of friends there. Trying to think any other Pros to fill up min 20 word requirement here, but it's really hard. Location is ok, parking and bike cages (even though lot of bikes were stolen from the cage). Cantina is kinda ok-ish. I guess it can be good if you're in right department under right manager.

Cons

Managers destroying teams and projects. Tight deadlines, no time for proper software engineering and development, BAs pushing for new business features while infrastructure and architecture gets ignored completely. Except some devs, nobody really cares about the code. Almost whole .NET dev team left. Same happened to UX and devops. Real game of thrones happening there, managers competing for positions while best devs are leaving. Uncertainty about whole Betfair merger. You really need to know how to play their game there, be good with certain people, or else you're getting bad review, no matter what you did. You have to do weekly supports for undocumented old apps for some small compensation.

Pros

There are some really good eggs in the business, and the work can be very interesting. The business is doing well, and that's exciting!

Cons

Ultimately, politics trumps performance - so keep your head down. "Don't be too bold or act too wise". There are some very vindictive senior managers who don't like being shown up - and there are no counterbalances to them - so you have to be careful all the time. Intelligence is not tolerated if you're not part of the 'insider' group.
