Great place to start, horrible place to stay. After 2 years you should get out and find a better job. - Senior Data Engineer DraftKings Employee Review

Pros

Good technology you can get experience with. Fast-paced, so learning is fast.

Cons

Very political. If you are not in the club, then no way to get promoted. It doesn't go off of talent or merit. No one speaks their mind because of the ability to be stoned walled down the road by someone for promotion or technical analysis. Get it on the resume and move on to a better company. Most of the good people do. The ones who stay are the worse.

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.
