Pros

DraftKings is growing very quickly and it's a very exciting place to work. Everyone here is eager to collaborate and work hard, and supportive of any initiatives that are going on. There's huge opportunity for employees at every level if you're driven and passionate about what you do. C-level executives are incredibly smart and also appreciative of their team. I'm looking forward to see where the company goes in the next year!

Cons

No cons. Spending very quickly to acquire customers, but will need to reel in at some point to sustain.

Best place to work in Boston

Pros

DraftKings is probably the best place to work in Boston. The company is young, growing tremendously and has a lot of excitement in the air. The people are smart, fun, positive, fast-paced, analytical, agile and forward-thinking. I am very impressed with the top management. They are very smart and super aggressive. This is very different from any other company I have worked for, in a good way.

Cons

The company is growing at a rate that is hard to keep up with. This makes company culture and values difficult to maintain at times and there can be periods where there can be disorganization. It is also difficult to know everyone as there are new people added weekly. However, my experience as a whole has gotten better and better with time, meaning corrections are constantly being made to improve company culture.
