Pros

- Smart people - Interesting products and problem space to work on - Great place to work if you love sports - Great benefits and work travel - Great work life balance

Cons

- Below market rate for pay in tech - Our CEO and department president said their would be no layoffs, yet my entire team was blindsided by layoffs out of nowhere - Very little stability, transparency, and trust with leadership within the Product team. - FanDuel operates in a highly regulated market; if states are slow to legalize or decide to raise taxes, this leads to extreme turbulence the firm has little control over.

Pros

The people at FanDuel are genuinely talented and supportive. Collaboration is strong, the energy is high, and teams consistently deliver high-quality work under demanding timelines. There’s a real sense of camaraderie that makes the day-to-day experience fulfilling.

Cons

Employee Relations is, without question, the most concerning part of working at FanDuel. Their approach is rigid, punitive, and disconnected from the reality of how teams operate. Rather than supporting employees or resolving issues, ER often feels focused on punishment over fairness. There is little room for dialogue, context, or proportionality. Even minor, unintentional mistakes can result in extreme consequences delivered without warning. Decisions feel opaque and predetermined, with no meaningful opportunity to be heard or course-correct. “Consistency and fairness” is frequently cited, but in practice it comes across as a way to avoid nuance or accountability. The result is a culture of fear that discourages openness, undermines trust, and makes employees feel disposable.
