Vantaggi
- Highly flexible approach to working - Competitive salary - Unlimited holidays and sick time - Generous perks & stock options - Wonderful people at the ground level; you will meet talented, passionate and genuine people who care about the product and the customer - Keener focus on responsible gaming of late, which is great to see - Modern tech provided - Going through a period of growth so opportunities abound - Company is really flexible in terms of sideways career moves; if you want to try something new, they will by and large facilitate and support this - Fairly mature Agile processes in place - Making positive steps towards diversity that (finally) feel like active missions rather than just lip service - You learn a lot, fast. It's a big, complex tech stack that is only getting bigger and better as products expand and new verticals spin up. It'll be a baptism of fire, but you'll walk away from this job with tech chops like no other.
Svantaggi
- While inevitable, the loss of FanDuel's startup culture is potent and disappointing; you will be working as part of a massive global corporation, and you'll feel it. It's far less about the product now, and all about the cash cow. - Lack of stability in terms of verticals and road maps. You will find your team repeatedly steamrolled, projects changed/abandoned and late hours expected as you suddenly MUST be first to market for whatever state has decided gambling is a-ok that week. - There are cliques within the leadership team that are relatively new and horribly toxic. People that lack professionalism and technical knowledge are making decisions they shouldn't be. The number of tense company-wide calls lately has been ridiculous. - Comms between the average employee and leadership are poor. We have frequent townhalls with Slido and live questions, but more often than not the answers skirt around the real issue, or the person raising the question is made to feel stupid/naive or plain infantilised. - Comms generally are a problem. Rumours abound throughout the company long before any concrete information is provided by leadership.
