Pros

The culture has always been to try to do the right thing, within the limitations of reality. There is a strong push to eliminate technical debt, and to empower employees to use their own initiative to do things well and improve things without having to get sign-off by management. Company offers a great working environment in terms of both the physical office and the freedom to work from home as and when it suits you.

Cons

There have been tough times recently, with a fair bit of belt-tightening due to the wave of legislation sweeping the US states. Things seem to be getting better again, and the recent New York legislation going in our favour feels to have been a sea change in the difficult legal landscape that we've seen since the end of 2015. Prior to that, we experienced serious growing pains as we struggled to recruit a huge number of new people to fill all the work we needed to get done.

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.
