Vantaggi

Compensation is competitive. Lots of smart coworkers. Separation of technical and management seniority tracks, so you don't have to become a manager to advance

Svantaggi

There's been several reorgs in the devops/platform engineering part of the business in the last couple of years. The cycle is consistent. New management gains political favour, hires more people, shuffles the org chart and adds projects which don't address real issues. These fail, management is replaced and the cycle repeats. After several loops the org is bloated with technical people, insular management layers and projects which collectively produce little value. The latest cycle added ~10 product managers, likely tasked with keeping goals aligned with real org requirements. But the issues haven't changed, they're just repackaged and presented in a more disconnected, positive format. People in technical roles don't seem to be able to disrupt these cycles either. I've failed, and watched others fail, to redirect effort towards high value work and known issues but management naturally rewards on people who enable them. I assume the product people are in the same position.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
