Pros

- full remote - unlimited vacation

Cons

Where to start… - low pay - incompetent managers and leaders. This stems from the fact that a lot of these people are under qualified or they were ops people who somehow made it into management. They have no idea what they’re doing and I’ve been at many companies - super underqualified devs. Completely honestly, these engineers are worse than computer science 101 students and boot camp students. Half of them don’t know how to google. The other half doesn’t know how to dig through a stack trace. There are no “seniors” or “principals” the ones with those titles definitely aren’t senior level engineers when comparing with senior level engineers at other companies. If you wanna skate by and do the minimum, by all means join. If you care about furthering your career, do not join.

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.
