      Software Engineer Interview

      1 Oct 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at DraftKings in Sept 2015

      Interview

      I was called for a technical phone interview in which I was asked to write code for a question comparing a few user's total scores and then give each user a competitive rank. The interviewer asked me to talk through the code as I wrote it. Part of the question involved sorting and I very honestly told him I didn't remember much about the built-in Java sort. He posted a link to documentation for it which led to me asking if I was allowed to look up documentation online during the interview. He acted as if I should have known that from the beginning despite not ever telling me. It took me about 20 minutes or so to write out a solution and then he began to ask me questions about it. At one point he asked me about a function I wrote to compare elements in a list pointing out that return type should be different than the one I had. Despite me explaining that the return type I had was correct, which it was, he argued with me until I changed it to the type that he wanted. At the end of the first question, he asked me if I could improve the solution I had. I explained the best way of doing it that I realized after I finished my first solution. His response to this was telling me, "Yeah that's how I would have done it the first time around," in a very rude and matter-of-fact kind of tone. Finally he asked me another quick question which involved finding the intersection of two rosters of players. I was just asked to talk through this question and ended up coming up with solution very quickly. I asked him what the next steps were in the interview process and he said they would get back to me within the next two days. They emailed me back 4 hours later rejecting me with no explanation.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at DraftKings (Boston, MA) in Mar 2026

      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.

      Interview

      The whole process was very friendly. HR provided comfortable and on-time communication and interview arrangements. Interviewers were professional, basically, but not all of them would like to help during the interviews.
