Aristocrat reviews

There are members of Upper Senior Leadership, particularly those whose background was at NeoGames, who can only be described as bullies. They belittle and demean, set ridiculous targets and then demand to know why they weren't hit. When serious concerns are raised around employees mental health and wellbeing they're brushed off, and said employees are told to toughen up and just keep pushing. Bonuses haven't been paid out for over a year; they advertise that we get 10% quarterly bonuses but it's a myth at this point. Bonuses are tied to hitting the aforementioned impossible targets. There are no opportunities for career progression or advancement. Every request for a raise, promotion, training, anything is dragged out and postponed and delayed. They make up bad excuses for why things aren't moving, then make you feel bad for following up. This has been corroborated by many colleagues and peers across the departments. The culture and vibe is really off lately. Morale is down, and no one seems to care about picking people up. Everyone is depressed and struggling to cope with the pressures. New head count is promised over months but then nothing ever materialises. Meanwhile expectations continue to grow and we the people continue to get trodden into the ground when we don't hit the targets. Whilst we do currently have the opportunity to work remotely, it's looked down on and members of senior leadership have been heard saying that remote workers shouldn't get the same support or engagement as those making it into the office twice a week, despite the fact that only 20% or so actually do that. Aristocrat have released a new plan for the next five years, but produced nothing to go alongside to explain how we're supposed to achieve all this. Just more impossible targets and painful months ahead.

It claims to support great values and be a great workplace but it's all a pose for HQ and for the market.
