Generally a good place to gain experience

Pros

There's a genuine developer culture on the front-end and you are encouraged to be pro-active with new technologies. I've heard that dev teams (for games) have become smaller, leaner and fairly autonomous, but backed with the resources (e.g. internal workshops on new tech) that a largish corporation like Gamesys can offer. So all in all a good place to both start out as a junior dev and also hone your skills as an experienced developer.

Cons

As with all large organisations there are cliques, favouritism, jobsworths, people operating their own agendas, and 'here be dragons' legacy codebases that no one really wants to touch.

Pros

Free alcohol on Friday nights. Big parties .Noel is a nice guy.Office is in a good location.

Cons

Gamesys has serious problems in the form of nepotism.Should you want your career to progress, the best path is to marry or date into a group of Gamesys elite known as the 'Untouchables'.If you somehow manage this, expect to reap the rewards; All expenses paid trips to Vegas,big bonuses and payrises.You can even be really bad at your job and skyrocket through the ranks. Before you know it you'll be managing your own team.Don't worry if nobody thinks you're good, all that matters to the Untouchables is that you're happy.

Constant rewarding of mediocre managers

Pros

- Products are nicely designed and developed - Central location - Good learnings

Cons

- I had a borderline psychopathic manager that was constantly praised for her interpersonal skills and design work. She knew she was a bad manager as had been told on those management courses etc but would just boast about being "assertive" when in fact it was more like "aggressive". I would have a meeting with HR but then find nothing ever got done about it. Other people in my team felt exactly the same way about her but would be too scared to speak up. - Zero flexibility around hours unless you're high up in the food chain - Pay level is laughable - Pension contributions also laughable - Feels like you're never set up to succeed, just always thrown in at the deep end and then judged on the end result.
