Pros

+ Hard working, clever people. + Friendly environment, everyone is always happy to help! + You won't get bored, as there are so many things to do. However, the environment is quite relaxed, and there is no need to work over-hours. + Interesting challenges for the future. + Stack of technologies is interesting and getting bigger! + You are free to use what OS you want to work with: MacOS, Linux, Windows... + TDD and Agile methodologies. + Developers are involved in full development cycle: design, implementation, integration testing, QA testing, release and maintenance. + Modern offices with green spaces and river views. + Subsidised canteen in the building.

Cons

+ Some parts of the code are relatively old and hard to maintain/understand and they lack proper testing. However, these bits are being re-implemented with some state of the art frameworks and technologies. + The beginnings can be a bit hard for devs, as they don't have much documentation to read. You will learn while coding!

Pros

While very much a gaming company, Betfair is unlike the competition in that it is much more technology / product driven, which makes it a much more interesting place to work. There are new initiatives all the time. Reflecting this, staff who move on (especially the better ones) tend to move to consumer tech companies rather than other bookmakers. Overall quality of the staff is great. Colleagues are focused, motivated and always helpful. Senior team is very strong and the strategy is very clear and well executed. Great to work somewhere that is really thriving. The work environment is great as well. The offices are very nice and constantly getting better, there is a lot of flexibility about working from home etc. with video conferencing widely used for every meeting. Compensation and benefits are very strong.

Cons

With 6+ offices, there can be a lot of travel depending on the role. The company tries to be data-driven but lacks some basic infrastructure.
