Aristocrat reviews

There have been layoffs recently with rumors that more are coming. Also, there have been issues with the culture changing for the worse and distrust cropping up among the teams. The climate is political and survival may depend on licking the right boot. The vision is not clear for those of us on our team. New hires have damaged the culture. Communication and trust has been eroded by senior people who are not culture fits who have gravitated toward personal favorites at the cost of team and overall organization.

Obviously everywhere above that, I said "some" it was for a reason. Just like every other company you've worked at, there are good parts and really bad parts about Aristocrat. It all matters what division you are in and what line of the org chart your boss, his boss, and his boss report to. I've had fantastic experiences and I've had experiences that were so negative that they bordered on abusive. There is virtually no process, no standards, quality is all over the map, communication stalled or non-existent, lots of finger pointing, people throwing people under buses, people refusing to follow through or follow direction, etc. Just like the last place you worked, it can be sunshine or toxic clouds. It can be Friday happy hours or Saturday crunches. Can be great job for work you barely worked on and screamed at for stuff you did exactly as directed. Time for lunch yet? Roll the dice if you need a job. Maybe you'll hit a Big Win.
