Lay-offs, lay-offs, lay-offs.... - Senior Software Engineer Level IV IGT Employee Review

They are are laying-off people like crazy, it doesn't matter if you are good. They hired me and 3 months later laid me off, despite of my good work even in the short period of time. From what I heard from recruiters around town, nobody (recruiters) want to work with IGT because they have lay-offs every year. I also heard from a former employee as well, (and I am not sure if is true) if managers like their people, they hire some more people, so when the lay-off "season" comes, they let the new ones go. I feel I was "the new one" they let go.
