Pros

-HR does put in effort to try to improve employee morale in the form of drinks/snacks/cold brew. -Centrally located NYC office in Flatiron -Wide assortment of beer -Flatter org structure / little red tape allows for quicker decision making vs larger org

Cons

-For such a fun product like fantasy sports, the office culture and environment is incredibly lackluster and leaves much to be desired. Complete lack of energy amongst employees (the ones that even show up) -Many managers/directors not equipped to manage staff and need serious management training -Decisions made in silos and lack of communication to cross functional teams -Inefficient organization leading to duplicative work and spinning wheels on various teams, or on the flip side, crucial initiatives falling through the cracks due to lack of accountability -Trying to do too much at once, and not doing any of them with the focused attention needed. Lack of prioritization from top down -Good work is often not rewarded and on the same token, lack of performance is often overlooked. -Even at start-up standards, a lack of professionalism and responsiveness especially amongst certain more tenure employees

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
