Pros

Working with some great engineers on problems with challenging aspects like handling significant scaling and a fast-evolving landscape. Some great tooling such as unlimited on-demand replicas of the full stack allowing much easier investigation, debugging & testing. Fast release cadences supported by significant CI pipelines, automation. Lovely offices with nice perks. Flexible working really does mean flexible here, rather than being a codeword for allowing you to do unpaid overtime if you want.

Cons

Engineering is isolated from it's CTO by a layer of non-technical people at VP level. They're not bad people, but it makes for a difficult experience and restricts potential career growth opportunities once you're near the top of the Engineering tree. Salaries are decent, but very widely variable within a role - if you don't want to negotiate hard you are likely to do worse than colleagues more interested in fighting for more.

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
