FanDuel: culture, pay, etc?
Does anyone work for FanDuel? I’m curious about the culture, pay, your general pulse on the company. How do you like it? I am about to go through the interview process for a TPM role here. Thank you for the insight in advance.
I had an offer earlier last year that I turned down. It seemed like a great company but the timing wasn’t right, and I ended up reapplying 6 months later and they passed over me completely that time haha. Sports betting will only go up as more states legalize. There are some very busy times, such as Super Bowl. Pay is not great, because it’s not really a tech company. But pay is decent. I’m not sure if it will match Amazon though, the pay was much much lower than my Google offer. They have GREAT refreshers for stock for a non-big tech company. The culture seemed good too, in the sense that it felt very European (laid back) since that’s where they are based. WLB seemed good, no one looked stressed or anything. People raved about the WLB. They were pretty strict on RTO 3 days a week when I declined last year. It’s a pretty interesting set of products. I have one friend who is a manager there and he loves it, got promoted to Eng director pretty quickly. I have a friend who is an IC and she is frustrated because her promo is slow. So, like everything else, team dependent. They were very stingy when I talked to them with the pay. Didn’t budge at all, however a VP got involved in my offer and they added a tiny bit more (though still low in comparison to 2022 offers). Honestly seemed like a decent company all things considered.
Thank you so much. How bad is the pay? What’s your YOE/role, and what would they offer you comparison to what FAANG would, if you don’t mind me asking?
I just got hired as a Data Engineer, with zero YOE as DE but 2 YOE as a data analyst at another company. My TC is 181k
Pay is low and you have to work with a bunch of people overseas
Pay is low. My only complaint so far.
Is FanDuel Irish?
