What is the company culture like at DAZN?

Not any during my tenure

* Poor work life balance * No work from home flexibility

✅ Salary is paid on time ✅ 5-day work week

❌ Heavy office politics and favoritism ❌ Job security depends on internal connections ❌ Biased hiring and promotions ❌ Toxic leadership creating an unfair workplace The company culture has changed drastically, with office politics becoming a major issue. If you are from Hyderabad or have strong internal connections, you may find job security. However, outsiders often face bias and can be asked to leave at any time. Recent leadership changes have led to an increase in favoritism, with hiring and promotions seemingly favoring local employees. This has created an unfair workplace where growth and stability depend more on connections than merit. If you are an outsider, I strongly suggest reconsidering before joining.

Free sport. No other reason.

This company is horrific. No direction whatsoever, moving everything to India and currently asset stripping across Europe forcing the few good people they have into redundancy. The execs are psychotic and only care about themselves whilst forcing everyone to attempt the impossible and attacking you if you don’t achieve it. There are people at mid management level who should be sacked immediately as they’re useless but somehow are kept on, despite creating further toxicity. The culture is the most toxic I’ve ever encountered and everyday here has been awful, a feeling shared by a high number of colleagues.

Good working culture and work-life balance

Tight deadlines and zero error policy

Great people on the shop floor You may or may not get a bonus depending on what mood the bosses are in.

DAZN when I started through until Sandeep and Shay joined was great, don’t get me wrong it had its issues but people were happy and proud of the company they worked for. Now the mood and morale has been stripped and ground down to a fear of redundancy from Shay and Sandeep as well as the constant barrage of uneducated rude, toxic and some may say bullying messages and behaviour by the SVP Global Live Operations. She treats everyone like dirt with the excuse that Sandeep treats her like that. Everything in transmission is being shipped out to India and any upgrades to infrastructure and staffing are done on the cheap with graduates or freelancers being brought in. The consequences being a poor product that crashes during major events. It’s a shadow of its former self and I’m heartbroken to see so many talented people either loose their job or worse, their passion for broadcast.

there are no pros to join this company

1. Lack of Recognition: Despite consistent efforts and delivering quality work, recognition and appreciation for individual contributions are limited. 2. Internal Politics: The work environment is heavily influenced by internal politics, with management often prioritizing alignment with senior leadership over merit-based decisions. 3. Excessive Workload: Long working hours (often exceeding 14 hours a day) are the norm, and there is no provision for overtime compensation. 4. Weekend Work Expectations: Employees are frequently expected to work on weekends, and there is generally no compensatory time off provided in return. 5. Favoritism Concerns: Advancement or protection within the company may sometimes appear to be influenced more by personal relationships with management than by performance or professionalism. 6. Micromanagement Culture: There is a pervasive lack of trust in employees’ ability to manage their responsibilities, resulting in constant micromanagement. 7. Inconsistent Policies: Company policies are not applied uniformly, and exceptions are frequently made for certain individuals without clear justification. 8. Toxic Work Environment: The atmosphere can become demoralizing, with high turnover and low engagement due to poor leadership and lack of employee support. 9. Lack of Empathy from Leadership: Management often fails to show empathy or understanding during high-pressure situations, treating employees as resources rather than people. 10. Resistance to Feedback: Constructive feedback is often dismissed or ignored, making it difficult to bring about any meaningful change. 11. No Structured Onboarding or Training: New employees receive little to no guidance, making the ramp-up process unnecessarily difficult and confusing. 12. Arbitrary Decision-Making: Decisions regarding projects, promotions, or resource allocation are frequently made without clear reasoning or input from relevant teams.

Nothing was good,very toxic work culture

Stress is an understatement, this is the worst place I have ever worked! The pressure from higher leadership is shocking! There is no leadership-it's a dictatorship. The bullying and humiliation l've witnessed is unbelievable - colleagues in tears, taking sick leave from stress. Hemna constantly gets involved and doesn’t trust any team to do there job. Constant grit about job stability, and constant talks of jobs moving to India. Promotions there isn’t any,all picked without a correct way to justify,all mates! Department is ran by people who have no experience in leadership or how to speak with people, disrespectful. Most people constantly looking for other work. Processes are constantly changed and not documented. Your mental health will be affected by this company! Constant rate of people leaving in mcr,tx,dsc,due to how toxic the work culture is. No work life balance with night shifts, and changes to shifts constantly. Hr cases arise due to sickness.
