      ZERO Work-Life Balance

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great snack, beer, and coffee selections (for free) - Free yoga classes, manicures, and barber. - Cool product that customers are genuinely excited about.

      Cons

      - There is absolutely no work-life balance - Bonuses are dependent on goals, and goals are always set to be out of reach (admitted by higher ups as a way for us to "stretch") - No clear career trajectory if you are below a certain level - Unlimited time off is a sham and you are expected to be available and be working to some extent even when you are on vacation. - Complaints made to HR are ignored. - Some managers are rude to cross-functional teams (creative, brand, analytics etc.) making it difficult for their directs to maintain a good working relationship with these essential teams.

      A company w/ a heart learning how to share it's greatness in more meaningful ways

      Pros

      -Incredible level of engagement. The people who work here want DK to succeed because they truly love it here. -Everyone will take the time to help you succeed, even if you have no clout yet, i.e. new hires, interns, etc. -Wonderfully diametrically opposed to what you'd expect with sports tech: Thoughtful vs. gut reactions, caring vs. "bulldoze everyone to get what you need," etc. -A very unique perks culture, i.e. people trading onsite barber slots for a the fully-paid massage slot on Slack is very commonplace.

      Cons

      -Growing so quickly that there we have to play 'musical conference rooms.' That being said, employees are very respectful of each other vs. typical 'stare downs' and glares from the other side of the glass.

      Salary not commiserate with responsibilities - and therefore very demotivating to high achievers.

      Pros

      Lots of very smart and motivated people. Great office, perks, and benefits. CEO is incredibly smart and caring.

      Cons

      Very large scope of responsibility for below average compensation. Company is far too large to continue this practice. Very high expectations that unfortunately are not rewarded when admittedly met or exceeded. Work life balance can be difficult at times. Very little growth opportunity for certain divisions.
