DraftKings

Constant new development and innovation. Starting early on, you will be expected to design, build, and test your own systems.

Ownership means learning all about the deployment, maintenance, and testing side of the process, as well as coding.

Surrounded by excellent engineers.

Fun office perks and culture. Snacks, beer/wine, and extracurricular events help build more personal relationships with coworkers.

Flexible schedule and vacation time/work from home policy.

• Incredibly fast-paced, and a "bias for action" means projects are often started before they are fully thought out. You will probably build at least one thing that doesn't get shipped or used in production. It can sometimes feel like the team is scrambling without a clear goal.
• The engineering org structure is constantly changing, and career paths are not as clearly defined as they should be.

Try to fight for clearer specs before beginning projects. Realize that a poorly built project delivered sooner might hurt the company in the long term versus a well-built project delivered later.
