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

As this happens to most start ups, FanDuel went through the hyper growth phase which makes it a very unique place to work. The disruptive environment opens up so many opportunities for growth and creativity. With all the unforeseen shifts in the market your role requires you to challenge yourselves in ways you never have before and elevate your skill set to the next level. FanDuel offers so much more than your basic benefits. Unlimited vacation and flexible work from home days are such great advantages for employees with family responsibilities. Fully stocked kitchen with plenty of snack options, weekly happy hours, game tickets and discounts on gym memberships are just a few other perks.

Cons

The two main offices are located in Edinburgh and New York.. The time zones and cultural differences can sometimes be challenging in communication.
