Pros

-HR does put in effort to try to improve employee morale in the form of drinks/snacks/cold brew. -Centrally located NYC office in Flatiron -Wide assortment of beer -Flatter org structure / little red tape allows for quicker decision making vs larger org

Cons

-For such a fun product like fantasy sports, the office culture and environment is incredibly lackluster and leaves much to be desired. Complete lack of energy amongst employees (the ones that even show up) -Many managers/directors not equipped to manage staff and need serious management training -Decisions made in silos and lack of communication to cross functional teams -Inefficient organization leading to duplicative work and spinning wheels on various teams, or on the flip side, crucial initiatives falling through the cracks due to lack of accountability -Trying to do too much at once, and not doing any of them with the focused attention needed. Lack of prioritization from top down -Good work is often not rewarded and on the same token, lack of performance is often overlooked. -Even at start-up standards, a lack of professionalism and responsiveness especially amongst certain more tenure employees

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.
