Pros

Good perks instead of money Good work life balance

Cons

Way behind on technically. Doing replication from 20 years ago and acting like it's cool. Senior employees managers have been here too long to see how out of touch they are.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this candid feedback. Growing quickly means that we have to make regular business and technical tradeoffs to enable us to best meet the needs of our customers and employees. As part of our evolution, we are working on continually improving many aspects of our methods and technology - including some of the technical items you referenced. I would be delighted to have an opportunity to speak with you in more detail about your ideas, so please feel free to connect or speak with your manager. Thanks! Brian SVP, Engineering

Pros

Perks are top notch. Can’t beat them.

Cons

Too many politics & hoops to jump through to get any real work done. Gotten too big for our own good. No structure, toxic environment for designers & creatives. We’re all on the same team but it feels like everyone is competing to get whatever is on their agenda done, nothing else matters besides that.

Thank you for your contributions to DraftKings success. The company is going through much change. We doubled in size last year which will cause some friction in work processes. Your manager and HR Business Partner are great resources to field your feedback. DraftKings is a special company, and your input will aid in our continued success. We appreciate your thoughts. Jason

Pros

Cool space, product is unbelievable to be apart of

Cons

HR is completely missing. Employee after employee is leaving and no one is saying why. From my first day not one member of the HR team remains within the company. They have no process for growth. Favorites are picked and moved around the company on thrones. Hours are spent working at home, off hours and they can’t even hand out a holiday bonus??? I have worked the last 4 thanksgivings, Christmas and New Year’s Eve. All I get was a holiday party done in the office steps away from my desk with an after party at a bar. Without an HR overall DK will be in the headlines soon

Thank you for your 3+ years of hard work and dedication to DraftKings and thank you for taking the time to share your experience. As you witnessed, the company experienced significant growth and change over that time. The DraftKings People team, like the company, has changed a great deal as well. Over the past year, we have invested meaningfully in our People, Talent and Workplace Experience teams in order to support the company and our employees through our rapid growth. Admittedly, we are not perfect, and we won't always get it right, but we are committed to providing an environment that allows our employees to do their best work, grow their careers, and have fun while doing it. We again thank you for helping DraftKings to succeed and wish you the best in your future endeavors. Thanks, Graham
