It sounds like your first year at DraftKings is going well, and we like reading how much you are enjoying the culture, your team, and the company. As a company, we're all experiencing rapid growth and change, but that shouldn't reflect from recognizing good work. We urge you to please speak with your HR Business Partner or direct manager about your concerns. We do offer different systems of employee recognition but want to hear your thoughts on improving them. Thank you, Jason

Pros

Great company, really great benefits, pretty much get everything you could possibly want from a company and more. Not as many perks as Google and other big tech companies, but they have all the basics. The company genuinely wants to do right by it's employees.

Cons

No nap pods :( Free catered lunches on Fridays are meh quality.
