Pros

This is a young company where everybody have a clear path for internal growth. The guidelines for promotions and the evaluation criteria are well stablished and are public for all the Engineering group. Also the majority of the senior managers and principals are engineers, which makes it easier for technical engineers in the front line to talk the same argot when situations arise. Great workplace if you are looking to learn about cutting edge technologies. Specially in the mobile and cloud aspect. Also the directors communicate with everybody and talks clear about the company situation.

Cons

Because it’s a young company that’s transitioning from small to large size, you will find young managers who needs to polish their management skills and evaluate the project's proposal coming from a down-up direction before committing. Very informal processes for kicking off big projects and creates conflicts and give room for other inconveniences. Also the principals are technicals who prefer to get their hands dirty rather than creating a roadmap for the team. This is slowly changing though.

Pros

office is nice, good benefits

Cons

this company is a sinking ship. its values have changed from a good product and happy employees to we will do anything at all to stay relevant. sports betting is a depleting business. FanDuel let go over 500 people in one day and proceeded to have a massive ad event and paid for peoples subway rides with knicks alum and merch and everything...on the same. exact. day. They do not care about you and they will get rid of anyone. I would not recommend anyone work here unless maybe you just graduated and are looking for experience. We just got rid of our CEO and our CPO is leaving as well as several other high level employees because there is no saving this ship. jump off now is my advice.
