Pros
Work from home, friendly people, lots of opportunities to work across departments
Cons
All companies have their flaws. FanDuel is certainly not an exception. Biggest con at the moment is an overly negative employee base.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookI worked at FanDuel full-time
Pros
Laid back environment, flexibility, work/life balance
Cons
Low pay, they used to give out company "swag" no longer do (only select people in the company have access, have people in management positions who are not qualified to be there, no growth, minimum pay increases, lack of transparency from management
Advice to Management
Re-evaluate the management positions and have qualified people work in those positions. Some employees are only given opportunities based on personal opinions not on work performance.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at FanDuel full-time
Pros
- Most of the people happen to be nice and fun to work with
- The office is nice too, and in another few years the rooftop deck might be accessibleCons
- If you're looking for stability and job security, stay far away, this is as volatile of a business as I've ever come across (multiple people laid off after starting less than 6 months prior)
- Nonexistent onboarding process after hire lots of ambiguity about what my roles/responsibilities would be
- Often times neglected immediately after start date, made it very difficult to learn and grow into an integral member of the team and didn't feel empowered in any way
- Extreme cynicism and negativity amongst majority of employees that I didn't buy into at first, but realized over time that those people knew exactly what they were talking about
- Many more sayers than there are doers
- Too many cooks in the kitchen
- No defined company-wide mission, lots of different agendas competing against one another for attention
- So many pointless and obstructive meetings that produce nothing but a waste of time and resourcesAdvice to Management
- Stop lying to the company on a regular basis
- Set out clear goals for the company to achieve and develop a more united and strategic approach that everyone can adhere to as a team
- Get rid of pointless meetings that consist of nothing more than departmental show and tellFanDuel 2018-02-24 05:58 PST![FanDuel Logo]()
"Great Company But Completely Dropped The Ball"

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at FanDuel full-time
Pros
Was really a great place to work until all of the legal stuff. So many rounds of lay-offs. Failed mergers and uncertainty from leadership about direction of company. Really kind of sad because they were in a great position to dominate the space but totally blew it with zero product innovations and hubris. The culture was really great for a while until some very poor hires at the top level. Really a textbook cautionary tale of success.
Cons
So many bad deals with team partnerships and vanity hires. Wasted an incredible amount of money on absurd projects like "FanDuel TV" --seemed like everyone was a VP at one point.
Advice to Management
Salvage what you can I suppose.

Pros
Flexible schedule, robust vacation policy, fully covered medical, dental covers adult braces.
Cons
The industry as a whole is shaky right now and there's been several rounds of RIF. Senior leadership is flipping over right now.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at FanDuel full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Relaxed Environment, nice mostly young people, you have easy access to higher up management and can make a name for yourself.
Cons
Overall feeling of cynicism and negativity from a lot of employees (granted they have seen a lot of layoffs, etc). A lot of talk and not so much action from the company for making changed.

Pros
Benefits are hands down the best I’ve ever had and the people are great. Flexible work hours are beneficial when you’ve got things to take care of.
Cons
Not much structure and things can tend to happen very last minute but such is life in a startup. If you’re the kind of person that isn’t much of a self starter this probably isn’t the place for you.

Pros
Great industry, great culture, great people. Not much more you can ask for. Love coming to work every day.
Cons
Could probably make more money somewhere else but the work atmosphere, culture, and unlimited time off make up for that in my mind
