Pros

Stock options 3% raise at the end of the year.

Cons

Processes will change at the drop of a hat and you will not be included in meetings. You will be swimming in work. You are at the will of people you've never meet. A lot of "yes, and". No organization, your "simple" task will have add ons way past the initial start date, with the same due date. Things that could be planned in advance with a little communication and respect. Any goals to improve in your career will be put on hold. They will ignore your goals unless your goal is to boost numbers at DraftKings. Quantity over quality. Company culture leaves little to be desired, unless you like fake sports fans, tech bros, and a revolving door of middle managers that only speaks in buzz words.

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.
