Pros

Some very talented people still left in the company. Some interesting projects. Flexible way of working.

Cons

Priorities change every week and is not clear what is most important. 100+ projects for one quarter, soon will be more projects than engineers. Projects are prioritised not basing on data but on what someone from the management wants. Lack of clear communication from the management. Not taking care about DAZN customers, only about profit. Not doing any innovation or experimentation. Saving money on everything, no benefits, no budget for anything. Pensions cut. Forced way of working within Engineering, not being Agile any more. Moving most of engineering teams to India to being outsourced. Not enough resources to deliver projects but unrealistic expectations and delivery dates taken from nowhere, not being consulted.

DAZN Response

Kinda difficult to not respond - I owe it to anyone reading... Too many priorities and too many projects has definitely been an issue for us. Our new One Portfolio approach is already helping with that - hopefully you see the impact soon - we had the first steering meeting recently and saw how we've prioritised projects based on market and customer need. We have looked to manage our costs, but that's exactly what a sensible business should do - manage avoidable costs and build a great business. You're in the UK, so it's sad you haven't seen the investment in benefits over the past six months - the launch of 'your locker', electric car leasing, subsidised gym memberships etc. Hopefully some of this starts to filter through to you and helps improve your situation - thanks anyaway for your efforts.

Pros

Great office. Fun concept and good broadcasts.

Cons

They laid off like a third of the company over zoom. When I asked for why I was part of the layoffs and another person in the same role wasn’t, they said they just checked names off a list.
