Pros

The people who work here are amazing. You will work on interesting projects and be part of a fun company that is changing the industry. The products are best in class. One of the best and most recognizable brands in Sports.

Cons

Very long hours (with the expectation of always being on call) and an extremely intense environment. The culture has gone downhill with the US public listing. Used to be a work hard / play hard culture and is now extremely corporate. I think the worst thing about this place is secret layoffs. Your job is no longer safe and the way FanDuel lays its employees off is extremely heartless. I was a hard worker and a relatively high performer and I was blindsided by being laid off.

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
