Pros

A fun environment to be in, a lot of free food and alcohol, a lot of great talent and people you actually want to hang out with

Cons

the structure of the organization is garbage. there is no growth trajectory on any team, and a lot of people in management positions that should no longer be working there. I enjoyed my time, but also happy to be done with that place. i would not suggest working there to anyone.

Pros

I love working for DraftKings. Everyone is extremely smart and passionate. The perks are great- manicure, baber, massage- free snacks, you name it, we have it. Good work/life balance too.

Cons

Still operating as a startup so something are not stream lined the way they might be in a large organization. Just small growing pains.

Pros

The office is great, and they care a lot about the employees. They are always looking for ways to make the office space better. Flexible about vacation time, working from home, and hours in the office (alot of people come in around 10-11 instead of the traditional 9-5). Despite the relaxed office environment, everyone works hard and gets stuff done.

Cons

None I can think of
