Pros

Remote and pay/benefits are decent.

Cons

By far the most chaotic, stressful, and unfulfilling job I’ve ever had. Horrible staffing practices, micromanagement, and zero room for growth. Unless you are part of their inner circle, you will not get recognized, promoted or most importantly respected for your contributions. They like to claim they’re still a start up, yet they have 350 employees. All that says is they dont want to put the time and attention into creating best practices, processes or have realistic paths for employees to grow or develop. It’s just an excuse for them to function at a chaotic pace and be extremely indecisive. Burn out here is real especially when certain areas are grossly understaffed and nothing is done to alleviate employees from being stretched beyond thin on a daily basis. This place quickly has become overrun by middle management and the focus is to hire more of them to sit in meetings all day instead having enough individual contributors to actually do the work.

Pros

Decent compensation for various different positions.

Cons

Extremely toxic work culture that pretends to care on the surface. Multiple firings without any attempts at performance improvement plans. Blatant nepotism of particular employees. Easily tracked racism as the first people to be cut tend to be people of color. Sexism in both forms towards women in fields dominated by men and men in fields dominated by women. Doesn't really surprise me that the ethics aren't great when the business itself preys upon users following grey laws surrounding gambling and sports betting.

Pros

Working remote Fun product Close to real "unlimited PTO"

Cons

Many things, but the major one is, people promotoed are really the ones who are in close circle.. This is the most annoying part. You really see lack of knowledge in many areas when you look at those who got promoted to higher level position yet they are REALLY inexperienced individuals. People are either worked previously, or a roommate, so there is a favoritism all over the place. If you are in that "good friends" circle, than you may have a chance. And for the love of the god, in my 10+ experience, I haven't seen this many disqualified but well titled engineers. I am glad I was able to find a better fit, and move on. This environment will get toxic very soon just because of this internal "my old friend" favoritism. Good luck guys.
