Warmth of welcome, great feel to the company and a modern, trusting culture.

None .... apart from not meeting in person yet, due to Covid-19, but the team has already suggested social distanced drinks to welcome me!

Pros
Great people to work with, everyone is supportive and willing to help. Good collaboration between different teams. Good benefits (flexible working, health care, free food, events). Senior Management are approachable and willing to listen.
Cons
Although I really enjoyed working there and will miss it, I couldn't see a clear route for progressing within the company and only really left because a new opportunity came along.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Bede Gaming full-time for more than a year
Pros
A company who cares, management and HR truly care about well-being. Supportive and open to new ideas always striving to be better. HR's doors always open and I've had a lot of support from them. Flat structure and an attitude that mirrors that no one has a high and mighty attitude which is great.
Cons
While I’ve progressed fantastically since I’ve started here the flat structure means I’m a bit confused about progression (I might have to shift teams to do that – great for some but not what I want to do). Hard to get resources outside of your own team and the fast growth of some teams has meant knowledge sharing hasn’t gone well. Can’t comment on other roles but for my role it’s particularly low paid compared to the region.

Thanks for the review. It’s great to hear that you’ve progressed so quickly and that you’ve made good use of the HR support we offer. We accept that we’re not perfect, and are always working on ways we can create avenues for progression - we’ve made a lot of internal promotions this year so we’re definitely moving in the right direction.

Pros

Dear Beder, I'm really sad to read this review from a current member of staff. As a leadership team we've strived to create a positive and informal culture. Central to this is creating a safe environment to enable staff to thrive. Whilst our culture is something that we’re proud of in general, we haven’t got it right this time. Bede takes any accusation of bullying extremely seriously. It's unfortunate that the existing support channels have not worked. As a result of this complaint, I will personally oversee an enquiry to better understand the problem, and ensure the implementation of recommended actions. Sincerely, Alex Butcher MD, Bede Gaming

Pros
- Employee-centric, management genuinely concerned with staff well-being - "Flat structure" so if you are a dynamic person you can go above and beyond and progress - Welcoming and friendly across the board - Genuinely open to innovation and new ideas, there's always something new happening.
Cons
- "Flat structure" while it's good for dynamic individuals can mean it's difficult to see a clear path for progression, double-edged sword, can get stuck in a role / pigeon-holed. - Some siloing between departments and red-tape can be frustrating when you need support from someone outside of your own department

Thanks for your review. We are committed to the well-being of our staff so it's great that you acknowledge that as one of our core strengths. Having a reasonably flat structure does act as a double edged sword sometimes, but we are working on creating better progression and promotion routes as we grow and new areas open up within the organisation. We'd always prefer to promote from within than hire externally where we can.

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at Bede Gaming full-time
Pros
Culture and people are great, and generally outweigh any cons.
Cons
The tech is a bit long in the tooth these days, and Bede doesn't move very fast or innovate rapidly, due entirely to stack choices.
Bede Gaming Response

Thanks for your thoughts. It's great to hear that you enjoy the culture and we wholeheartedly agree that our people are our number one asset. As we've grown as a company we can't be as innovative as we were back in the start up days, but we do try our best to offer our tech people the opportunity to work on different technologies through our innovation time (free half day every sprint to work on whatever you like) - if you're unsure how to take advantage of this just let us know!
