Pros

Draftkings is high pressure, fast paced, and can be confusing at times. You will have to lean on tools to thrive. DK offers great access to AI and other workplace aids. You have to make a name for yourself and will go through ups and downs.

Cons

For the seriousness and time commitment the salary can feel less than ideal.
