You’ll meet some great people and when they happen socials are good. Sometimes access to sporting events.

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.

Good work / life balance

1- & 2-star reviews over the past 2 years from employees across departments paints a consistent picture of Betway’s deep-rooted issues. The mood within the London office is lacklustre, devoid of collaboration, and teetering on the brink of despondency. This is because the passion and drive to deliver outstanding work has been sucked out of even the most talented employees. Why? 1. Resource Strain: *Endless* rounds of redundancies have burdened every department, forcing them to undertake the workload of many, all while contending with slashed budgets and relentless demands for unchanged KPIs and deliverables. The C-suite lacks both the leadership and integrity to address the mass layoffs, express gratitude to employees for their service, or provide clear communication about the impact of the changes on remaining staff and their future roles. Instead, cheaper hires are being made in Cape Town, meaning London-based employees have the thrill of coming into an empty, soulless office and connecting online with team members 6,000 miles away. 2. Lack of Strategic Direction: The absence of clear guidance from top management leaves employees adrift, unsure of the company’s identity, unique selling points, and long-term ambitions. Their reactive approach leads to a lack of future planning, meaning more redundancies! If it doesn’t work *now*, then it’s scrapped altogether. A company objective one year can be discarded and forgotten about the next. Nobody knows who has authority over what, who’s responsible for sign off, and sometimes even the overarching objective of a project. Taking it upon yourself to use initiative and problem-solve the issues that arise because of all the above will go unnoticed, too. 3. Developmental Void: The dearth of investment in learning and development worsens the situation. Managers often neglect to organise or attend 1-2-1 meetings, and development objectives outlined in performance reviews are frequently overlooked. 4. Dwindling Perks: Once-generous benefits have diminished, with fixed office days enforced (Mon, Weds, Thurs), and ‘perks of the job’ for all to enjoy (e.g. tickets to sponsor games), are now only available for those that turn up on Tuesdays too. It’s suspected that this is a not-so-subtle soft launch for a return to office 4 days a week. One of the greatest things about the office is its barista, facilities, and cleaning staff (who embody more of the companies’ ‘values’ than the senior leadership team), and the games room where employees can indulge in a 10-minute game of pool and feel collaborative (alive) again. I hope for the sake of its talented employees that Betway undergoes a comprehensive organisational intervention to rectify these issues and create a more progressive, innovative, enjoyable, and successful place to work.

- salary and benefits are ok - free beers on Thursday - Camden Town - good coffee from company barista

- plenty of toxic people and bad atmosphere - nepotism (the inside track) - bullying employees to force them to quit is accepted by HR - bad management

Benefits offered People Driven culture

1 Work from home day per week

* the people working there * the salary * management

* HR is the worst HR I have ever come across; especially 1 staff member who is a robot with no empathy or sympathy * their 'hybrid' work which is 3 days a week forced on everyone, no matter your circumstances * their benefits; or lack of * pretending to focus on mental health and making a big statement about this when they clearly couldn't give a F about their employees * dictatorship * checking who is in or not in on the specific days, using anything available like CCTV & making sure the TL gets in trouble if the team members miss 1 day * the way they get people to follow their rules is to make sure the Team Leader for a team is the one getting in trouble and disciplinary if the TL is not forcing the rules on the team by fear and threat * stay away!! * I now see that the Robot HR BP has been promoted which says it all. * they did a survey about what their employees wanted as a hybrid work, never published the survey because it went against their plans.
