Pros
DK has been working so hard over the last few years to continue growing at a fast pace and keep culture alive in a remote environment. The effort that the leadership team has put into supporting the business resource groups is admirable. They show up to meetings, they listen to complaints and enforce positive change. People are awesome - smart, driven, passionate environment with lots of room to learn and grow. If you work hard, you will be rewarded. It may just come at mid year and end of year.
Cons
Growth comes with challenges, new management and new ways of doing things can be scary at first. But these changes, processes and guidelines are here to make DK a better place. Hopefully the changes start to ease off and we can get back to what we do best. Do not force people back into the office when most of their team is remote.

Pros
Cool Co-workers Remote work Lots of holiday pay (this may be because I had to work xmas and thanksgiving)
Cons
I have been at DraftKings for close to 9 months and the whole customer service department is chaos. I was saddled with a horrible shift that I barely had any input in deciding. I would’ve left months ago but was told I would be able to switch shifts and not have to work every weekend after football season. Every monthly review my manager tells me the “shift draft” has been postponed a couple weeks, it’s been 5 months. I saw DraftKings comment on a previous post to contact your HR rep because a co-worker was dissatisfied with the minimal opportunity for growth despite the constant promise for it. I do not know who my HR rep is and honestly have no idea who I could even ask to find out this information. I signed up to be a mentor in March and led 1 1 hour training session over 2 months ago and have not had the opportunity to lead any more. 2 people in the group I trained with are really excelling due to their team lead advocating for them which seems to be rare. I have had no opportunities for growth.

Pros
The onboarding process was absolutely seamless - truly the best onboarding process in my professional career. Got my new laptop on time (prior to the start date). First few day was mostly New Hire Orientation, which also went extremely smooth. Any questions I have, my Manager has been very professional, kind, and helped me understand DraftKings’ corporate culture, our vision, and of course all of us have one mission - being more successful today than I was yesterday.
Cons
Absolutely no complaints at all.

- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
There are so many pros! I will list but a few. Remote work, the opportunity to rub shoulders with brilliant sports minds, and great compensation packages.
Cons
The sports industry is always busy, so hours can be strange (this is to be expected).

Pros
Good culture, health care, and work life balance.
Cons
Ratio of women to me is off. Fast moving environment (must be able to pivot quickly).

While we know there is much more work to be done to reach equity in the workplace, our leaders will continue to work with our Business Resource Groups and Inclusion, Equity, and Belonging team to attract and retain diverse talent.
