Pros

You have a job and get paid

Cons

Worked at BetMGM for 5 years, and while I had high hopes upon joining, my experience was ultimately disappointing due to persistent organizational issues and a lack of strategic vision from leadership. One of the most troubling patterns I witnessed was the company’s tendency to lay off employees with little notice or transparency, only to repost the same roles a few months later. This cycle creates a toxic atmosphere where employees feel disposable rather than valued. There was no meaningful effort to retain talent or communicate why these decisions were being made. The company struggles with alignment and focus. Strategic priorities shift frequently, and teams are left scrambling to adjust to new directives with minimal support or explanation. Leadership appears disconnected from day-to-day operations, and there’s a noticeable lack of accountability at the top. Initiatives are launched with great enthusiasm, but follow-through is rare. As a result, much of the work feels chaotic and rushed, with little chance for sustainable impact. Processes are either outdated or nonexistent, and there’s little interest in investing in tools or systems that could improve workflow or clarity. I saw talented colleagues come and go at a rapid pace. Burnout is common due to unrealistic expectations and a lack of clarity around roles and responsibilities. Feedback is often ignored, and upward mobility is more about being in the right clique than based on merit. The company talks about growth and innovation, the reality is a high-turnover environment driven by poor planning and a revolving door of employees. I would strongly caution anyone considering a role here to ask direct questions about turnover, long-term strategy, and what concrete steps are being taken to improve culture and stability.

Pros

There are very few positives left that meaningfully outweigh the challenges and current state of the company

Cons

This company feels like a sinking ship. Leadership seems more focused on building personal AI apps and side projects than actually leading their teams or addressing the problems employees face every day. There's little accountability or direction from the top, and the people doing the actual work are left to pick up the pieces. Instead of investing time in supporting employees and improving operations, leadership seems more interested in chasing the next AI trend while the organization continues to decline. Promotions often feel based on favoritism instead of performance, and employee recognition comes across as a retention tactic rather than genuine appreciation. It also sometimes feels like certain employees receive better opportunities and treatment because of who they are connected to or even their last name, rather than the quality of their work. Whether intentional or not, it creates the perception that personal connections matter more than merit, which has hurt morale and trust across the company. Executive leadership also seems completely disconnected from the business. At times, it feels like they spend more time on vacation than supporting their teams, while being largely absent from their responsibilities. The lack of accountability at the top has become impossible to ignore. It's no surprise that so many employees, including members of senior leadership, continue to leave. The majority of the people still here have simply given up and are going through the motions because nothing ever improves. Employees are overworked, underpaid, exhausted, and expected to keep doing more with less while leadership acts like everything is fine. Until leadership starts focusing on people instead of appearances, I do not see this company heading in the right direction.
