Pros

- Smart people - Interesting products and problem space to work on - Great place to work if you love sports - Great benefits and work travel - Great work life balance

Cons

- Below market rate for pay in tech - Our CEO and department president said their would be no layoffs, yet my entire team was blindsided by layoffs out of nowhere - Very little stability, transparency, and trust with leadership within the Product team. - FanDuel operates in a highly regulated market; if states are slow to legalize or decide to raise taxes, this leads to extreme turbulence the firm has little control over.

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
