Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Scientific Games full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Good products, truly, across both lottery and casino gaming. Interactive and Sports Betting as well. Nice co-workers of those who are unlucky enough to still be there.
Cons
Toxic environment; no trust from Top Management downwards and vice versa upwards.
Red tape- so many departments and people and processes and paperwork... it's amazing anything goes out the door.
No loyalty has really been shown in the last couple years either... a lot of good people both above and below me have been cut.Advice to Management
Nope. There are some smart people there. Hopefully those ones figure out the mess that's been created.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Scientific Games full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
-Management doesn’t care about their employees as in they are just worried about bottom line
-Low standards with no goal paths which makes for a lot of turnover
-They play favorites...A LOT
-No incentives for lower tier employees
-Diversity & Inclusion is non-existent
-Nepotism (spouses in the same department, jobs for executive managements family (no experience), hiring best friends.Cons
-If you play the game of “fake and phony” then this is the place for you
-Same tier people really do help (as far as skill set) other same tier people
-The company used to be a great place now they are only worried about esthetics and executive management getting acknowledged and promoted, they could care less about anyone else
-Nepotism (spouses in the same department, jobs for executive managements family (no experience), hiring best friends.Advice to Management
Treat your employees well (be honest with them, guide them, and grow them them) and you’ll never have any issues.

Pros
vacation time was very good.
Cons
if you like to be micromanaged at every step you might like it here. Too many acquisitions in a short time and none of the upper management knew what product was what.
Advice to Management
before you take over a department you never worked with research the product

Management does not care about the employees.
No communication to the developers when selling a product.
Always ready to change irrespective of the terms and hence stretching the timeline.
No pay increase.
