I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at DraftKings (Boston, MA) in Sept 2015
Interview
Beginning to end took exactly 1 week. I was contacted by a corporate recruiter who keyed in on my LinkedIn. I wasn't looking but having heard a lot about DraftKings I was curious. I talked to the recruiter which led to a phone interview. Phone interview was coding exercise that led to an inperson interview. Inperson interview was with the recruiter and three engineers who I think were engineering managers for a coding, design and general interview. I also met with a director of engineering briefly. The interview was difficult but non-trivial. The recruiter wrapped up with me and told me that they decided not to go further. He explained feedback which I appreciated. I definitely wanted to work there. Everyone was nice. I can learn there. The company is really exciting. You have to have full lifecycle experience to do well on their interview.

The interview process was fairly straightforward - after the screening and technical interview they put you in a 3 hour final round with three separate interviews back-to-back, the last one being a chat with the team lead. The recruiter was nice and helpful throughout the process.
