Great Learning Environment, No Vision

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to learn the ropes as a new grad. Genuinely excited and motivated coworkers in most departments. If you're invested in the company you'll have a pretty good time and learn a bunch.

Cons

No clear vision or path to success as a company. Must be the only billion dollar company in the world without a realistic 3-5 year plan. Company is stuck in the past with a product that clearly isn't as engaging as was previously thought and refuses to recognize systemic failures at the planning and vision level.

Fun but no work/life balance

Anonymous employee

Pros

Unlimited snacks, beer, and coffee (including cold brew!). Free catered snack on Friday afternoons, which was always way more food than people. Lots of SUPER passionate people who live and breath fantasy sports.

Cons

Lots of SUPER passionate people who live and breath fantasy sports so there was very little work/life balance since fantasy sports never really sleeps. Expectations were often very unrealistic. At times the culture felt like it was based on one upping others and collaboration was hard to come by.

Pros

DraftKings offers employees lots of non-monetary benefits (games, outings, food, beer) Laid-back culture

Cons

Marketing spend vs employee compensation. I feel like with the amount we spend on marketing that employees could be closer to fair market value for their roles.
