Culture of Innovation

WMS' innovations in the gaming entertainment industry are as legendary as they are legion. From electrifying the pinball game with the "tilt" mechanism to engineering today's new wave of Adaptive Gaming®  and Community Gaming®, our ability to intuit and advance the direction of the amusement market is unmatched.

The reasons are simple: We live and breathe innovation.

It's how we produce the best gaming products in the world, how we are recognized as one of the top places to work, and how we consistently attract the smartest, most forward-thinking people.

We create a culture and workplace where both innovation and our employees thrive.

 

Vibrant Diversity


WMS is a proud Equal Opportunity Employer. We prize diversity and multiculturalism as a matter of principle—and practice. The stronger our diversity, the richer our mix of ideas. Having a mosaic of cultures, backgrounds and perspectives innovates our thinking and keeps us ahead of the curve.

Good Communication & Engagement


Talk is cheap; communication is priceless. We actively engage our employees for feedback, new ideas, Kaizen events and workplace suggestions. And in turn, we make sure everyone is in the loop about their company. Our Above & Beyond newsletter, WMS blogs, email communications and employee events keep everyone abreast of important events inside and outside WMS.

Spark Innovation


At WMS, there is a deep-seated belief that great ideas are not only welcomed, but expected from everyone. Unlike other companies where innovation is constrained to only a few in product development, WMS recognizes that the ability to create change that adds value is a skill every single employee must bring to their respective area of expertise regardless of their place on an organizational chart, geographical location, or function in their department.

To this end, Spark is just one of the tools management has provided to help everyone embrace their inner Innovator and fully participate in our Culture of Innovation. Spark can best be described as a marketplace for ideas where we widely solicit innovative solutions to problems the company is tackling. It is also a conversation that is open to anyone to comment on and contribute to so as to broaden the perspectives included. Additionally anyone can vote on the ideas they deem important. This creates a constant re-prioritization of what the entire WMS community truly thinks are the best ideas for the company to invest in.
