What People Are Saying About DraftKings

  • Remote or Hybrid Flexibility: Many corporate and technology roles are described as offering remote or hybrid options and autonomy to structure the workday, which helps manage personal commitments. Feedback suggests this flexibility is a notable strength outside peak-event periods.
  • Time Off Access: Flexible or unlimited PTO and paid parental leave are highlighted, and employees note these policies can make stepping away easier when workloads allow. Feedback suggests time away is workable on well-staffed teams.
  • Wellbeing Programs: Mental-health services, the Calm app, virtual yoga, backup childcare, and related resources are presented as meaningful supports for personal wellbeing. Feedback suggests these benefits complement flexibility even if they do not determine day-to-day hours.
