Unsure. Good perks, lacking quality work.

Pros

Perks are top notch. Can’t beat them.

Cons

Too many politics & hoops to jump through to get any real work done. Gotten too big for our own good. No structure, toxic environment for designers & creatives. We’re all on the same team but it feels like everyone is competing to get whatever is on their agenda done, nothing else matters besides that.

DraftKings Response

Thank you for your contributions to DraftKings success. The company is going through much change. We doubled in size last year which will cause some friction in work processes. Your manager and HR Business Partner are great resources to field your feedback. DraftKings is a special company, and your input will aid in our continued success. We appreciate your thoughts. Jason
