What's the Company Culture Like at DraftKings?
DraftKings Employee Perspectives
At DraftKings, we celebrate the power of community and its impact to create a safe space for employees to thrive.
DraftKings is by far the most inclusive atmosphere and culture I’ve ever been a part of. I’ve always felt that I never had to hold back from being my authentic self.
Beyond the tech, what truly empowers us is the environment we create around it. I prioritize building a friendly, trusting atmosphere where people feel safe to speak up and genuinely feel like part of a team.
DraftKings promotes a builder culture where employees create internal AI tools through hackathons, reinforcing experimentation and employee-driven innovation.
“We’re really excited about what we’re building here, and there are many really smart people driving this forward at DraftKings.” — Matt Olson, Lead Analyst
DraftKings encourages a culture of curiosity and experimentation, where evolving AI tools give employees ongoing opportunities to try new approaches and improve how they work.
“Staying curious, experimenting and being comfortable iterating on your work is key. What you mastered last month might look completely different today, and that’s part of the fun.” — Shreya Thakur, Manager of Risk Analytics
