Pros

None, Nothing I can think of!

Cons

I wish I could give FanDuel zero stars because they deserve absolutely nothing positive. This place is a cesspool of toxicity and an absolute disaster when it comes to treating their employees with any respect or decency. First and foremost, the company culture at FanDuel is horrendous. It's like stepping into a time warp where the worst workplace practices from decades ago are still in play. There's a complete lack of communication, transparency, and basic human decency from the leadership. It's clear that they view their employees as expendable pawns to be used and discarded at their convenience. But wait, it gets worse. Let's talk about the layoffs. It's as if FanDuel thinks layoffs are some sort of sick game. They've made a habit out of blindsiding their employees with sudden layoffs, leaving them high and dry without any warning or assistance. Watching colleagues and friends in security team get their lives shattered by this heartless company is truly nauseating. The way FanDuel handled these layoffs is a prime example of their complete disregard for their workforce. No severance packages, no job assistance, nothing. It's like they revel in the chaos and despair they cause. I can't imagine how a company can be so out of touch with basic human empathy. And don't even get me started on the leadership. The top brass at FanDuel seem to be operating in an alternate reality where treating employees like human beings is an alien concept. Their arrogance and lack of accountability are mind-boggling. It's no wonder the company's culture is in shambles when the people in charge set such a terrible example. In conclusion, I wouldn't wish FanDuel on my worst enemy. It's a nightmarish place with a terrible culture, atrocious leadership, and a penchant for leaving employees high and dry through heartless layoffs. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this disaster of a company. Your mental and emotional well-being will thank you.

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
