Pros

Free food, cool office. Growing organization.

Cons

If you are a people manager, I would avoid working at DraftKings. They are not supportive of their managers and the workers know it and use it to their advantage. Workers are essentially allowed to do as they pleased. We even had people on our team that booked an expensive trip on the company's dime after specifically being told not to, and their manager was told to let it go.

Pros

The pros about this place is that if you want a quiet area to work when you do work there out of 3 days out of the week that they have you work there. At least that's what it was when I worked there I don't know if they've changed it. Then you work 2 days at home. It's very quiet. Most the time there is nobody there. They will train you and help you but you will eventually have to be able to do it on your own.

Cons

If you switch over to departments don't depend on the company keeping you. If you mess up. The company was literally going through a buyout with the lottery company when I was working there and everything was crashing. So I got let go because there were a lot of errors and the system that they upgraded to was worse than the one that we worked on. So basically if anything happens with the systems just make sure that you know what you're doing and that you catch up on everything.
