Pros

The people here are genuinely friendly and supportive, which creates a welcoming and collaborative atmosphere. The work environment is relatively stress-free, with manageable expectations and minimal pressure on meeting deadlines. While we occasionally face escalations on production issues that can be a bit stressful, the team’s supportive nature helps in navigating these challenges effectively.

Cons

It used to be great working in a relaxed and collaborative environment where hierarchy wasn't strongly felt. However, since becoming a public company, multiple layers of hierarchy have been introduced. There have already been two rounds of layoffs, and now the company has implemented a strict return-to-office policy with harsh penalties and no grace period. Many employees suspect this is essentially a third round of layoffs in disguise. Additionally, the enforcement of centralized policies, despite the vastly different conditions in each office, has led to significant unfairness and frustration among the staff.

Pros

Global Opportunities. This company has the potential to be the google of sport and be the pioneers of the Sports Data Industry.

Cons

Have to wait for a higher ranked employees to leave to seize opportunities for promotion. No reward system for loyalty.

Pros

I spent many years at Sportradar and was proud to contribute to building the engine that powered a lot of the company’s growth. It was rewarding to work in sports tech, support major federations, travel, and be part of a company that grew significantly over time. For people who genuinely love sports, there was a lot to enjoy in the work, and the compensation was average but fair for the market. What made the experience especially meaningful for me was the sense of ownership and dedication across the years. I consistently went beyond my formal role, supported teams through change, and stayed committed to delivery even under pressure and resource constraints. That is why it was disappointing to see the culture shift so strongly in the last 2–3 years.

Cons

What became most painful was being laid off after lots of years by people who had only been in the company for a short time and, in my view, had not really contributed to building the business. It was especially disappointing to see that some of the newer management seemed to add little value while still making major decisions about people’s futures. Over time, the environment became increasingly toxic, with too much blame, politics, and poor judgment instead of respect for the people who had carried the company for years.
