Pros

DraftKings has been an amazing place to work. I have met amazing developers and technical leaders, and have learned a tremendous amount since I started, and know I will continue to learn a lot. Office perks are top-notch, all staff is friendly and accommodating, leadership is very in tuned with every single employee's well-being, and despite rapid growth, things still feel very organized and the driven to a mutual goal.

Cons

Because the company is so young, and growing so fast, a lot of teams are in scramble-mode, and lacking leadership, since many of the leaders are new employees as well. This won't be sustainable in the long term, but in the short term it's completely manageable.

Pros

Every day at DraftKings is exciting and the pace of progress, news, and growth of both the DFS industry and our share of it is mind-blowing. With our international expansion we are taking Americas love of fantasy sports to the rest of the world and truly changing the way people experience sports they love and introducing them to new ones.

Cons

Weekends are a great time to kick back and enjoy sports and time off, but in this industry NFL Sundays are the peak of the year and in many roles you'll need to work many/all of them.

Pros

Awesome perks, great people, exciting growth and opportunities -- ideal if you love sports! Fast moving company with very flat structure and autonomy over work. Every employee has the opportunity to make a significant impact on the direction of this rising star.

Cons

Things move very quickly at the office, which is generally a great thing but does mean that sometimes longer term research and insights can be overlooked in favor of short term priorities/"need it now" projects that might not drive as much value.
