Pros

DraftKings is taking market share in the Daily Fantasy Sports space and growing rapidly! Big announcements on new deals and partnerships are a regular occurrence and the culture of DK is all about excellence and having fun at work. Great leadership team and a ton of really smart people at the company. DK treats its employees very well.

Cons

Really no negatives here. Its a classic startup environment, at least in the Boston office where space is limited, but we are moving to an additional floor soon which will help with our space constraints.
