Pros

The first day onboarding/orientation experience is great at DraftKings. The onboarding took pretty much an entire day. I was emerged into the company culture, its history, and vision. I also had a session with the IT team to setup the company provided laptop. I'm pretty happy with how the onboarding went for me. It's truly world class.

Cons

The info received during the onboarding is heavily tailed towards US employees. It'd be great to consider employees from other countries, as well, such as Canada.

Pros

Truly a great company to work for. Personal development is a huge focus and this is a company that you will truly grow at. Having worked or had friends that worked at at a most of the big Boston tech companies, can confidently say DK will both treat you better and help you become more than any of the others

Cons

A lot will be expected of you and the company does emphasize performance. But it will give you the support to get it

Pros

The pros about this place is that if you want a quiet area to work when you do work there out of 3 days out of the week that they have you work there. At least that's what it was when I worked there I don't know if they've changed it. Then you work 2 days at home. It's very quiet. Most the time there is nobody there. They will train you and help you but you will eventually have to be able to do it on your own.

Cons

If you switch over to departments don't depend on the company keeping you. If you mess up. The company was literally going through a buyout with the lottery company when I was working there and everything was crashing. So I got let go because there were a lot of errors and the system that they upgraded to was worse than the one that we worked on. So basically if anything happens with the systems just make sure that you know what you're doing and that you catch up on everything.
