Pros

Was really a great place to work until all of the legal stuff. So many rounds of lay-offs. Failed mergers and uncertainty from leadership about direction of company. Really kind of sad because they were in a great position to dominate the space but totally blew it with zero product innovations and hubris. The culture was really great for a while until some very poor hires at the top level. Really a textbook cautionary tale of success.

Cons

So many bad deals with team partnerships and vanity hires. Wasted an incredible amount of money on absurd projects like "FanDuel TV" --seemed like everyone was a VP at one point.

Pros

Colleagues who are both smart and genuinely nice A fun office environment, sports-related events A fair amount of non-financial perks Approachable leadership compared to many other large companies Top tier benefit offerings Great employee resource groups

Cons

Constant restructuring of teams, especially in Tech RIFs began happening more regularly almost every year A lot of senior leadership roles are disconnected from processes and work that is happening Business growth is largely outside of the control of employees - there's lot of market and industry based factors to consider D&I is only a priority if it's required to be or if the incentives are right Career growth opportunities are much more competitive and limited at mid/senior levels
