What People Are Saying About DraftKings

  • Remote or Hybrid Flexibility: Flexible arrangements and remote/hybrid options are described as helping people manage personal schedules day to day. Many corporate teams operate in a hybrid setup that blends at‑home and in‑office time.
  • Time Off Access: Unlimited PTO in many roles and robust paid parental leave (noted at about 14 weeks at full pay) are positioned to make stepping away feasible. Paid holidays and bereavement leave further support time outside work.
  • Wellbeing Programs: Access to mental health platforms, virtual wellness offerings, and fitness stipends is highlighted as part of the package. Health coverage, a 401(k) match, and related perks can ease day‑to‑day stressors.
