Pros

• Amazing colleagues • Exciting brand and market • Treated like an adult by managers • Unlimited holidays

Cons

• The management has changed massively for the worse • Has completely lost all feeling of a startup • Management make it very obvious that FanDuel is now just a cash cow racing for every last dollar • The only engineering talent that FanDuel can attract now are far less capable and experienced than previous years • Salary is considerably less than the current market • It feels like the management team are so disconnected from the heart of the company but more worryingly, it feels like they enjoy it like that • Many very valid concerns are swept under the rug during the town hall meetings and the level of gaslighting is increasing • Product improvements are slowly dwindling, the only focus now is scrambling for money

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.
