Pros

Lots of autonomy, creativity, great team and great people. The people who work here are amazing people who buy in to the vision.

Cons

The site currently states $76-78K as the compensation at DK for a copywriter, and that is just not true, laughable, in fact. I ultimately had to leave because I couldn't afford to work there anymore. This is a very difficult company for any creative professional looking for fair compensation.

Pros

DraftKings overall is a great company to work for! Everyone is very talented, education, and hard-working. Upper management preaches the importance of having a great company culture and it definitely shows.

Cons

Sometimes processes and procedures are very fluid. Although this is to be expected at a fast-growing start-up. Salaries are average, not great. Depends on what department you work in. I think there is room for improvement there.

Industry competitive pay Great growth opportunities. Employees really treated like they are important and culture is truly wonderful and fun! A lot of passionate excited people who love what they do and the product they work on.

Cons

Things move too fast, and often result in unclear objectives. Often, the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing i.e. different teams work on similar pieces and lead to issues.
