Pros: Opportunity to work with some cutting-edge technology in the sports betting industry. Most colleagues were great to work with, and there were a few genuine professionals who truly cared about delivering quality work. The fast-paced environment gave me valuable experience in scaling projects in a startup-like atmosphere.

Cons: Management Issues: The leadership in the QE group, particularly starting from the main manager, fostered a toxic work culture. Favoritism was rampant, especially toward employees with Amazon backgrounds, leaving other team members feeling unsupported and undervalued. Any feedback or effort to address these issues was ignored or dismissed. Lack of Accountability: Despite numerous complaints to HR, there was no action taken to address the unprofessional behavior from management. It became clear that HR did not prioritize the well-being of employees. They failed to intervene in situations where management was clearly bullying and undermining staff. Favoritism and Games: There was a strong sense of favoritism within the team, particularly toward those with certain previous employer affiliations. This led to an uneven playing field, where some individuals were given unfair advantages while others were left to struggle with minimal support or acknowledgment of their contributions. Poor Support from Leadership: Management lacked transparency and communication, often playing games with employees' careers and growth. Rather than fostering a collaborative environment, they prioritized personal favorites and created division within the team.

Pros: Good teammates, collaborative environment. Decent projects with an updated tech stack. Opportunities to learn new things. Some flexibility in day-to-day work.

Cons: HR and management often come across as inconsistent and unprofessional. Policies (WFH, DTO, etc.) keep changing based on management’s convenience. “Unlimited DTO” is misleading — U.S. employees use it freely, but India employees are discouraged or restricted, leading to exploitation. DTO ends up being less than industry average, with no compensation for unused days. Constant cost-cutting across the board. IPO discussions have been ongoing for years without clarity or transparency.

Pros: Flexible working hours and a supportive hybrid work culture (mandatory office presence on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with lunch provided). Good quality of work and good compensation. Clear opportunities for career growth and advancement.

Cons: At times, you may need to log in late in the evening for standups or meetings, as some teams are based in the USA. However, the company is actively working to reduce this.
