Pros

Employees treated well. Management understands each role and it’s needs. Excellent equipment. Talented and experienced staff. Solid balance of work and home life. Honestly feel appreciated and proud of the work I do.

Cons

Sometimes the work load can be heavy. And hours can be a bit tough. It’s nearly a 24/7 operation and a 1am call time isn’t always easy.

Thanks for sharing your feedback and writing a review. We're extremely proud of the work our media and production teams are doing. Having content streaming 24/7 is so small task and it certainly takes a team of passionate and dedicated employees to ensure a successful operation. We're thankful for your hard work day after day to produce the best audio/video media for DraftKings!
