Pros

Great working environment. People are broadly hardworking and happy to engage with one another. A lot of very talented people on the Engineering side, good learning opportunities on the job.

Cons

Having difficulty retaining skilled employees. Primarily due to totally avoidable issues such as unwillingness to renegotiate compensation in volatile market conditions or make other allowances where money is concerned. I think they will eventually adapt to this but it will be a very costly exercise as the best talent will have already gone.

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.
