Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback! We're happy to hear that the people at DraftKings continue to be a positive and supportive community for everyone. Our organization is expanding quickly, and we certainly understand there might be some growing pains as we continue to broaden our scope. We strongly encourage you to work with your direct manager to talk through ongoing work priorities. We appreciate your patience during times of change and growth at the company.
The pros about this place is that if you want a quiet area to work when you do work there out of 3 days out of the week that they have you work there. At least that's what it was when I worked there I don't know if they've changed it. Then you work 2 days at home. It's very quiet. Most the time there is nobody there. They will train you and help you but you will eventually have to be able to do it on your own.
Cons
If you switch over to departments don't depend on the company keeping you. If you mess up. The company was literally going through a buyout with the lottery company when I was working there and everything was crashing. So I got let go because there were a lot of errors and the system that they upgraded to was worse than the one that we worked on. So basically if anything happens with the systems just make sure that you know what you're doing and that you catch up on everything.
