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.

Pros

Colleagues who are both smart and genuinely nice A fun office environment, sports-related events A fair amount of non-financial perks Approachable leadership compared to many other large companies Top tier benefit offerings Great employee resource groups

Cons

Constant restructuring of teams, especially in Tech RIFs began happening more regularly almost every year A lot of senior leadership roles are disconnected from processes and work that is happening Business growth is largely outside of the control of employees - there's lot of market and industry based factors to consider D&I is only a priority if it's required to be or if the incentives are right Career growth opportunities are much more competitive and limited at mid/senior levels
