Great onboarding experience

Pros

The first day onboarding/orientation experience is great at DraftKings. The onboarding took pretty much an entire day. I was emerged into the company culture, its history, and vision. I also had a session with the IT team to setup the company provided laptop. I'm pretty happy with how the onboarding went for me. It's truly world class.

Cons

The info received during the onboarding is heavily tailed towards US employees. It'd be great to consider employees from other countries, as well, such as Canada.

Pros

Good when you ask for a PTO or any of your needs. Management is good

Cons

They were good honestly until they canceled all Canadians, without even removing the bad agents and leaving the goods ones. They just removed us all and they didnt care much about us if we have families we bring food to..
