Pros

Every day at DraftKings is exciting and the pace of progress, news, and growth of both the DFS industry and our share of it is mind-blowing. With our international expansion we are taking Americas love of fantasy sports to the rest of the world and truly changing the way people experience sports they love and introducing them to new ones.

Cons

Weekends are a great time to kick back and enjoy sports and time off, but in this industry NFL Sundays are the peak of the year and in many roles you'll need to work many/all of them.

Pros

Awesome perks, great people, exciting growth and opportunities -- ideal if you love sports! Fast moving company with very flat structure and autonomy over work. Every employee has the opportunity to make a significant impact on the direction of this rising star.

Cons

Things move very quickly at the office, which is generally a great thing but does mean that sometimes longer term research and insights can be overlooked in favor of short term priorities/"need it now" projects that might not drive as much value.

Pros

- Super fast paced company, & even entry level positions will have a ton of responsibility - Great management team - Incredible work environment (including multiple kegs on tap)

- Some people do work fairly long hours, but it is usually because there is so much exciting work to do & we can't hire enough people fast enough!
