Pros

tech stack, learning opportunities, some colleagues are helpful and friendly

Cons

micromanagement, local management trying to impress bosses abroad at any cost (especially at the cost of their team members), an industry itself is a bit shady - after all it's a gambling named as iSocial gaming and the industry itself is stressful and demanding cause of competition, etc...

Thank you for sharing your experience of your time at VGW. We are glad you thought highly of our tech stack, learning opportunities, and supportive colleagues! Sorry to hear about your experience with micromanagement and local leadership. We aim to foster a supportive, empowering environment, not a stressful one, and your feedback regarding management culture is something we take very seriously. Additionally, while the social gaming industry is fast-paced and highly regulated, we are committed to maintaining compliance and integrity across all our operations. Your insight is important and if you have anything else to share, feel free to email talentacq@vgw.co. Thanks again!

Pros

1 Generous and brilliant founder 2 Emphasis on tech and innovation for growth 3 Industry behemoth 4 Customer Operations abreast with ambiguous legal regulations

Cons

1 Inefficient internal support teams overstaffed with underqualified yet overpaid yet underperforming personnel 2 "People and Culture" a gross misnomer for the HR team. If not egregiously promulgating disregard for internal policies whenever personally convenient, incumbents of power, regardless of scope, habitually arbitrarily administer policies for personal gain 3 Persistent labor malpractices in some location
