Pros
1) Great Work-Life Balance - The company generally respects personal time, and most teams maintain a healthy work-life balance. 2) Cab Facility - The transportation facility is excellent. 3) Generous Severance Benefits - Severance benefits are so generous that they take away the stress of a layoff. 4) Supportive Long-Tenured Employees - The long-standing team members are almost like living fossils of Entain India’s former golden era. 5) Approachable Leadership - The MD is soft and employee-friendly, even though influence seems limited at times. 6) Employee-Friendly Practices - Policies in general lean toward the welfare of employees, which creates a positive environment.
Cons
1) Concerns About Newly Hired Tech Leadership – In my experience, some recently hired technology leaders (e.g., engineering directors and managers) seemed to lack the technical depth or leadership skills needed, 2) Showmanship Over Skill – Visibility and self-promotion appear to be rewarded more than actual technical skills. 3) Misalignment in Senior Technical Roles – Several individuals in senior technical positions (engineering directors, managers, principal engineers) seemed misaligned with the skill expectations of those roles. 4) Shifting Influence of Hyderabad-Based Teams – Major technical decisions came from the Hyderabad-based teams, but this influence appears to have diminished over time.
