      Amazing If You Drink The DK Kool-Aid

      Pros

      Perks can be pretty cool including tickets to games and chances to meet players from time to time. 95% of the people are amazing, but there are a few individuals who lack scruples and they seem to be the ones making decisions. The co-founders are wonderful and their vision is great.

      Cons

      DraftKings is great while you're there and you're drinking the DK Kool-Aid, but the truth is that there is a rampant sexism/harassment problem that is continuously swept under the rug by HR. Promotions are often political and not earned. As far as compensation goes, personally I was paid at just over 50% of my market value and I know I'm far from the only one who was underpaid.

      Great place to start, horrible place to stay. After 2 years you should get out and find a better job.

      Pros

      Good technology you can get experience with. Fast-paced, so learning is fast.

      Cons

      Very political. If you are not in the club, then no way to get promoted. It doesn't go off of talent or merit. No one speaks their mind because of the ability to be stoned walled down the road by someone for promotion or technical analysis. Get it on the resume and move on to a better company. Most of the good people do. The ones who stay are the worse.

      Pros

      A fun environment to be in, a lot of free food and alcohol, a lot of great talent and people you actually want to hang out with

      Cons

      the structure of the organization is garbage. there is no growth trajectory on any team, and a lot of people in management positions that should no longer be working there. I enjoyed my time, but also happy to be done with that place. i would not suggest working there to anyone.
