Pros

-You definitely get a lot of experience at a growing sports betting company -You're not micromanaged with the exception of a few roles -Company expanding rapidly, many opportunities for advancement if you're there long enough -Office in NYC is a cool environment. Tons of drinks/snacks like all the startups, TV's always on. It's a good time -Get all the tech you want/need, not sure about home offices now post the peak of covid. -Most people there are super bought in to everything. There are a lot of "lifers", people that will likely be at FD til they retire. -Initial comp was good, benefits were great. Zero complaints at all.

Cons

-Let me be extremely clear on this one. They want "yes men" at FanDuel. -If you don't agree or shut up and go along with everything leadership is doing, you're done. -If you're very non confrontational and don't mind how things are being done above you, this won't affect you and you'll love it there. -Since they've gotten larger, that startup feel is just about gone entirely. -Certainly quite a few ppl who just show up for the paychecks at this point, but FD likes those people the best as they won't speak out. -There is a lot of hypocrisy as far as what they let employees say/do. Everyone signs something saying they will only bet legally, but it's only enforced on some. -Yearly raises were 1-2% for most. That's not gonna help keep talent there.

Pros

• Amazing colleagues • Exciting brand and market • Treated like an adult by managers • Unlimited holidays

Cons

• The management has changed massively for the worse • Has completely lost all feeling of a startup • Management make it very obvious that FanDuel is now just a cash cow racing for every last dollar • The only engineering talent that FanDuel can attract now are far less capable and experienced than previous years • Salary is considerably less than the current market • It feels like the management team are so disconnected from the heart of the company but more worryingly, it feels like they enjoy it like that • Many very valid concerns are swept under the rug during the town hall meetings and the level of gaslighting is increasing • Product improvements are slowly dwindling, the only focus now is scrambling for money
