      Pros

      Fast paced company with an awesome sports and entertainment product. Overall the company is full of really smart, nice, and hard working people. In-office perks are also top notch.

      Cons

      as with most start ups, there have been hiccups in organizational structure and management. It has impacted some functional areas more than others, and may require some shaking up of certain teams as needed to meet long-term objectives.

      Pros

      Constantly striving to improve processes and self, which usually leads to iterationally better products, better process, better infrastructure. Current and always evolving technology stack including almost all areas of work (cloud, DB, mobile, web, High expectations for developers to deliver, test, and deploy high quality code.

A lot of passionate excited people who love what they do and the product they work on.

      Cons

      Things move too fast, and often result in unclear objectives. Often, the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing i.e. different teams work on similar pieces and lead to issues.

      Great company with lots of opportunity

      Pros

      DK definitely asks people to work hard, but they have generous benefits (including tuition reimbursement) and fun extras (in-office massage, haircut, and manicures; snacks; discount tickets to games/concerts) as well as competitive salaries. As part of the tech organization, I get to work on interesting projects alongside some very smart engineers. We have all-hands meetings that are very transparent, and the CEO will answer any question honestly; you can even submit them anonymously ahead of time if you don't want to ask in front of everyone.

      Cons

      There is a very strong bias for action; this could be a good thing, but sometimes it is pushed too far and results in high stress for little net benefit. The negative media attention can also be a pain -- I work for a great company, love my job and have great career trajectory, but when people ask me about work it is often in this hushed tone, as if they are embarrassedly asking about a relative with addiction problems.
