      Software Developer Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at DraftKings

      Interview

      A very negative experience. Had a 30 minute technical phone screen, which was fine, not too bad, then was asked to come on site. I had two one hour interviews on site before I was asked to leave. The first was coding on a laptop. The problem was not technically intensive, but was extremely frustrating. I had to spend an unreasonable amount of time just learning the interfaces for the various classes, making sure they were imported properly (WTF) to avoid IDE errors, and making sure that I was making the syntactically correct API calls before actually doing anything that required thought. The interviewer left the room and did not return, showing up just once to answer questions. The few questions I had, the interviewer could barely answer intelligibly. It was really clear that he either didn't understand what was there or had no interest in answering my questions. The second interview was an open-ended OOP design exercise. I had some trouble here, just because I have never programmed professionally in Java/C#. I imagine this is textbook UML OOP stuff, which I just haven't done in a while. The interviewer was condescending and rude though and I generally had a lot of trouble interacting with him. I would ask questions and get "I don't know, it's your design", or be told I was "hand waving" sometimes and then when I tried to get specific was told not to write any code. After the interviewer, a recruiter I hadn't met yet came in within 30 seconds and told me I had failed, asked for my badge, and escorted me from the building. Honestly felt like I was being fired for wasting their time. It was really humiliating. Generally, there was a huge disconnect between what they wanted and what I offered. They are looking for very specific skills, right out of the gate. I was never asked, at any point, about the stuff on my resume and what I offered as an engineer, what my strengths and weaknesses are, any ideas I had for their product, or what I was interested in.

      I interviewed at DraftKings (Calgary, AB)

      Interview

      The phone screening question was standard and went over my resume, along with talking about the role. Asked about test driven development a lot. They do a technical question, then a system design question, followed by a meeting with the team manager it sounds like.

      Interview

      I had my first HR interview with DraftKings. It was mainly about getting to know the company, understanding the general role, talking about my past experience, and answering few easy initial technical questions.

      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.
