Pros

Benefits, work life balance, self-authored performance reviews, some cool game themes, really talented engineers and artists.

Cons

IGT has more silos than NORAD. Most, if not all, management (mid-level and above) is in over their head. True decision makers are few and far between... decision by committee is the norm because of the silos. There is no lack of ideas from those in the trenches, ideas that could be the next TITO for IGT. However, and idea without management support to execute said idea is just converting Oxygen to CO2. Overall, the corporate culture is on par with a high school senior prom. The most talented and productive staff have moved on to work for the competition. The irony is that IGT is the instigator of this knowledge transfer by way of "cost reducing" layoffs. Most successful technology companies these days acqui-hire new talent, IGT has cornered the market on cost-to-fire through severance payouts.

Pros

Flexible with hybrid work options however the degree of flexibility is highly dependent on your team/manager. The work is interesting.

Cons

The ability to move up depends a lot on your manager and relationships with others, not necessarily strictly your work product.
