    Pros

    Nothing. An amateur start-up company. Bad environment to work. No privacy. Everybody sits on one long table.

    Cons

    The CTO is not professional and snobby. The office lacks of privacy. No diversity.

    Pros

    Young, fast paced, and growing at a ridiculous rate. Collaborative work environment and high level of expectations for results. Agile development with rapid release cycles. Amazingly fun work environment.

    Cons

    Speed has is detriments. When demand for ridiculous growth is in order, shortcuts need to be taken. We are also highly at the mercy of pro sports seasons for deadlines, which are extremely inflexible.

    Great people, great work, strange morally

    Sep 28, 2015 - Software Engineer Intern in Boston, MA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Amazing people, loved hanging and learning from some smart and down to earth engineers. Open office space, it was great to be able to work with the developers in an encouraging environment, and the CTO was among the engineers. Free snacks and drinks, even beer, and great location. Free tickets to sporting events too!

    Cons

    Morally, the business model isn't too appealing; it's essentially feeding people's addiction that's causing them to lose money. Also, the company is sort of in hot water with logistics of legality, which is scary to play with.

    Not much to say here, DraftKings is great. The hours could be long for some people, but is mostly a product of the exciting growth period we're in.
