Pros
You’ll meet some great people and when they happen socials are good. Sometimes access to sporting events.
Cons
If you like job security, flexibility to work from home when needed, being rewarded financially for your hard work and loyalty this is NOT the place for you. Over the last 18months-2years has become a toxic place to work, with moral in the office (across all offices) at rock bottom. The company hasn’t made any decision or change that benefits their employees in a long time. From removing basics like a summer party or Christmas bonus to increasing the amount of days you are required to be in the office and removing perks like extended career breaks. Don’t worry we still get free fruit! All this before the multiple rounds of redundancies are mentioned. 100s of people have been forced to leave the business leaving the people ‘lucky’ enough to stay to pick up the additional workload. HR (including the ironically named Chief of People, mentioned in another post on here) make most of the decisions and display a severe lack of understanding of how to support and help their staff in any way. It’s at the point where I don’t think they actually care at all. The company is massively top heavy with many directors contributing zero to the business and probably where the redundancies should have started in the first place with people at the very top believing staff should be grateful to have a job at Betway and have become increasingly complacent and tone deaf. While staff are given £10 contribution to lunch once a week (on a day we don’t have to come into the office) the directors sit in the kitchen on their reserved table eating their free expensed lunch everyday. It’s a shame that a once great place to work and thrive has got to this stage but when chasing the share price and keeping shareholders happy has become complete priority over staff this is what we’re left with. As things stand I wouldn’t recommend taking a role here to anyone.
