Sportradar reviews

Management, RTO, communication. The management keeps on changing for the past few years and making very poor decisions. Employees are just numbers that need to deliver numbers, so that the board and CEO is happy. The communications is bad, lacks transparency and honesty. The company keeps on changing RTO, currently decided to go to full return to office, without any flexibility whatsoever. What feels inequitable is that some office locations no longer exist, yet employees in those regions continue working fully remotely, while employees in countries with active offices are required to comply with a full return-to-office policy. This creates a sense of inconsistency and unfairness across the organization. It also feels as though the company’s development is moving backward rather than forward. Frequent layoffs, occurring almost every year, have created an environment of uncertainty, fear, and declining motivation among employees. As a result, trust in the company’s long-term stability has been significantly affected. Many employees who remain with the company are already exploring alternative employment opportunities that offer greater security and stability. From an internal perspective, the overall direction of the company raises serious concerns, and unfortunately, the outlook for the future does not appear positive.

Too many products and too many egos. All the CEO and senior management care about is earnings and the stock price, at the expense of employees. The work gets repetitive after a while, no clear direction or path for progression. However, it’s the people side of Sportradar (or lack thereof) that is the worst thing about working here. The CEO and management don’t understand work-life balance, which trickles down to even junior employees being expected to work around the clock for little in return. Micromanagement is rife, employee office attendance is tracked and timed, your family and personal life will be disregarded for non-urgent work calls and meetings. You’re expected to just get in line and do as you’re told. Problematic employees aren’t dealt with sufficiently, staff turnover is high - if a member of senior management doesn’t like you, you’re out the door. Stress and burnout are high. Lots of discontent across offices and a lot of employees are just waiting for the opportunity to leave.
