DraftKings Employee Perspectives
DraftKings’ approach to compensation and benefits is centered on supporting employees through important life moments, with a strong emphasis on family support and overall well-being. By expanding parental leave and offering inclusive fertility benefits, the company continues to invest in programs that help employees feel supported both personally and professionally.
“We focus on two main areas: supporting parents at DK and their growing families, as well as the emotional well-being of our employees. From the parenting standpoint, we expanded our parental leave for both birthing and non-birthing parents, offering 14 weeks for either parent, which is awesome and highly competitive in the market. We also now offer Progyny, a fertility benefit that anyone — no matter what their family looks like — can access.”
