Pros

Benefits are great - 100% paid for Percentage of gym membership covered Unlimited PTO Flexible with working from home Casual/laid-back work environment People are fun Fully stocked kitchen with snacks/drinks/beer Sports ticket allotment

Cons

Grew too fast - no reason that a company of this size needs a 50+ marketing team so there are a lot of people trying to do the same thing; not enough clarity around what everyone's roles/responsibilities are Offices in multiple locations that are very disconnected from one another Extremely slow engineering team - takes at least a month to see even the smallest changes implemented Promotions without raises Negative media attention causes uncertainty around job security

Pros

office is nice, good benefits

Cons

this company is a sinking ship. its values have changed from a good product and happy employees to we will do anything at all to stay relevant. sports betting is a depleting business. FanDuel let go over 500 people in one day and proceeded to have a massive ad event and paid for peoples subway rides with knicks alum and merch and everything...on the same. exact. day. They do not care about you and they will get rid of anyone. I would not recommend anyone work here unless maybe you just graduated and are looking for experience. We just got rid of our CEO and our CPO is leaving as well as several other high level employees because there is no saving this ship. jump off now is my advice.
