Pros

- Smart people - Interesting products and problem space to work on - Great place to work if you love sports - Great benefits and work travel - Great work life balance

Cons

- Below market rate for pay in tech - Our CEO and department president said their would be no layoffs, yet my entire team was blindsided by layoffs out of nowhere - Very little stability, transparency, and trust with leadership within the Product team. - FanDuel operates in a highly regulated market; if states are slow to legalize or decide to raise taxes, this leads to extreme turbulence the firm has little control over.

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.
