Pros

As a growing organization, DraftKings gives the employees opportunities to master their own lane but connect cross-functionally to add value in other areas/departments. There is a focus on high performance including at the management levels that holds each person accountable to their contribution to the organization. For those looking to level up their careers and have opportunities to push beyond their boundaries, DraftKings is a great place to call 'home.'

Cons

- Processes on a global scale are still being developed, grey space can be uncomfortable for some - Highly-competitive point of entry for candidates (make yourself stand out!)
