Pros
good technologies some nice people working there (not for long more though!)
Cons
pure management backstabbers you only see the friends of the management progressing no vision / strategy I am leaving this big joke soon!
Advice to Management
Wake up! People are going around doing nothing, just chatting and drinking their beers. Employees who work hard are neglected and have nothing to believe in anymore

Pros
I so far had 2 promotions in 2 years, I am listened to when I share my ideas and am valued as am employee and not as a number. I take accountabilty and ownership seriously and ensure that delivery is key to be counted for. I guess that is why I am happy here as I am providing value to the company and the company values me as an employee.
Cons
Unless you are not able to handle a dynamic company with lots of initiatives and tight deadlines - this isnt the place for you.
Advice to Management
Keep up the good work and the vision . My suggestion is to be more open to all verticals and keep them informed with all that is happening.

Pros
At Betsson, everyone has many opportunities and challenges ahead, making our jobs fun and exciting. After the restructuring (which I agree had to happen), Betsson has made changes to their strategy - reflecting what they'll be prioritizing and focusing on most. I personally agree with their updated strategy, and am eager to work and contribute to that :) I've been with Betsson for almost 2 years now, and I can... already see massive improvements being made. Betsson is growing, and I'm glad to be a part of that.

We need to have responsibilities and accountability taken more seriously, I believe. Communication (throughout: across members of the same team, across departments, and even across different sites & offices) is lacking. Within the Tech space, I believe we lack a lot of documentation. This sometimes makes it incredibly difficult for people or teams to take ownership over existing solutions. Recognizing and... emphasizing the importance of documentation would save us a lot of time and minimizes the risks involved in maintaining, updating, or improving upon existing systems, and allows for spreading of knowledge across the company.

In my view, the single most important thing I'd like to see improved is our company culture. Don't take me wrong - it's great as it is: working here is fun, and I consider my colleagues to be friends. Call me a workaholic, but I sometimes see that such things get in the way and undermine efficiency. The environment needs to be more strict in order to get more work done with the same resources. In doing so, we can... boost performance and deliverables.

Pros
Multicultural with some very nice people. Travel opportunities available and company has a good reputation as Gaming’s largest employer on the island. Stockholm office a nice place to work.
Cons
New ‘C’ levels are Amateurs and have no experience in their roles. Recent handling of layoffs a prime example. Culture of cliques and CEO surrounding himself with friends. Employees convinced to relocate, then hung out to dry.
Advice to Management
Sit back and Do nothing. Leave the steering to Pontus the chairman.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Betsson Group
Pros
The company as a whole is a great place to work - the Scandinavian companies really know how to treat their staff. Loads of company events, breakfasts and opportunities to learn.
Cons
Relocation package was minimal. Also, tends to be bullying methods at management level - certain managers need anger-management course as several cases of being bullied by one particular person
Advice to Management
Listen to the staff when multiple complaints are made about one person. This is not the way to treat staff in the 21st century.

Pros
Managed to transform from a small, start-up mentality company into a medium-sized corporate, modern company delivering better and better. A good mix of people, talent, nationalities and seniority. Focusing on the right things; mobile, product, culture and with the customer in the first place.
Cons
Although Malta is a beautiful island, since it's the company HQ means that skilled, valuable people will come and go.
