Pros

- Some colleagues are supportive and collaborative. - Global exposure and multicultural team environment. - Occasional flexible working arrangements depending on team.

Cons

While I had the chance to work with a few genuinely kind and capable colleagues, the overall experience at Sportradar was deeply disappointing. The workplace culture is toxic, with little regard for employee well-being. Management lacks professionalism, shows blatant favoritism, and avoids accountability at all levels. Constructive feedback is often ignored or met with hostility, and communication is poor and disorganized. There’s no clear growth path, and decisions are often made without transparency or fairness. Management is ineffective in handling serious concerns, and the environment feels more political than performance-based. Morale is consistently low, and high turnover speaks volumes. If you're seeking a healthy, supportive, or purpose-driven workplace — this isn’t it. Proceed with caution.

Pros

Very flexible with scheduling. Nice bonus job that you can do after work. Not too difficult and if you’re already watching the game you might as well be getting paid for it. Supervisors and management are great and schedule very well.

Cons

Hard to get a lot of hours after the month of November. Guaranteed to work at least part of a Saturday almost every week.

Pros

There are some very smart, very strong team members. However, those individuals are leaving in droves.

Cons

The executive leadership team, especially Carsten have lost their way. Increasing demands on staff, while cutting team staffing across all functions, forcing 5 days in office without thinking through a plan and how it will effect families, and lack of raises the last few years has created a very stressed and overworked culture. This company has fully shifted into an "appease the shareholders" phase of cost cutting, do more with less phase which is having a large effect on the quality of talent. There is a constant shift of senior leadership with changing priorities when the actual fix to most problems are to just add low level staff to do work. This place is overrun with Sr leaders demanding KPI/KRI updates, sitting in meetings, and not much time spent doing actual work.
