Quite careless

Pros

What we've built to date and what we've achieved has been amazing. The people I've worked with are fantastic and there's been very little ego.

Cons

We've descended into chaos, even when there is clarity, it's not for a good reason. Management change their minds on priorities constantly. Exec do deals or instruct you to speak to random companies that their friends work for or that they have some hidden arrangement with. Recently teams lack authority over their solutions because it's probably been dictated from above. We can save money, but you can't just cut overhead overnight, you need time to analyse the problem and build out the solutions.

Pros

None at the moment. It used to be great, but now it's depressing to work there.

Cons

No budget, no clear direction, micro-management in a very unskillful way from the CTO, nepotism, and lying to the employees. Treating highly skilled people who worked there for years and put a lot of time and effort to get DAZN where it is now as just numbers (not even bodies). Currently, an exodus of talent is happening which it's hard to believe can be stopped, avoid from afar! Don't work there, nobody smile anymore.

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.
