Pros

Social benefits, workplace is great, some nice activities organised for people within the company

Cons

No work-life balance in most departments, no real career development for people in Trading department, especially if you are Bulgarian. Really sorry to have to write that, but discrimination here is real, and it is not against people of colour, but towards Bulgarians from people in management, most of them British. You can not voice out your opinion, or even slightly criticise them, because you will be crushed by those guys who are a team It doesn't matter what valuable qualities you possess and how much time and effort you've given to the company. They will not even have a talk with you, to make you aware they are not happy with sth, they will make sure you are expelled as fast as possible because you interfere their comfort !!!

Thank you for your candid feedback, and we're saddened that we're not providing you with an employee experience that we strive to provide all employees. At DraftKings, discrimination of any form will never be tolerated, and we work to foster an inclusive culture where all voices are heard. Please reach out to me personally so I may assist in this matter. Thank you, George
