What's the Company Culture Like at Allwyn North America?

Allwyn North America Employee Perspectives

Your favorite collaboration win — in one quotable line?

We had multiple incredible projects going on at the same time, including making changes to Mega Millions and adding a cashless option to our vending machines, but because of our team's adaptability and dedication to getting things done right on the first try, we were able to not only complete our projects on time, but thrive while doing it.

 

What metric shows it works?

My favorite — or sometimes least favorite — metric is definitely the task due date. If we aren't getting tasks done on time, it can have a cascading effect, adding pressure on other teams or vendors to make up the time. It's absolutely critical to learn about any deviations to a task due date ahead of time so you can minimize the impact on other teams.

 

Which ritual keeps teams glued?

A weekly standing meeting or sync-up is definitely our MVP. It's absolutely crucial for us because of multiple projects going on at any given time and dependencies on cross-functional teams.

Allwyn North America Employee Reviews

Managing the Illinois Lottery takes a lot of hard work but we have a great People team that find things to let us unwind and encourages us to find fun too. We have weekly happy hours, on-site weekly yoga, team building events, department engagement events, sports leagues, and annual parties! We even have a knitting club now!
