      Software Engineer Interview

      I interviewed at DraftKings

      Interview

      Unfortunately, the process was pretty unprofessional from top to bottom, despite my significant interest in working there. The first step was a HackerRank coding exercise, which is an hour in length. I completed it and heard from their tech recruiter within the hour, wanting to set up an initial phone screen. We talked for a half hour about my knowledge of DraftKings and other basic preliminary interview questions. She ended the call by saying she would schedule a technical phone screen. I didn't hear back from her until the next week, when I followed up and she finally put it on the schedule. The tech phone screen was largely the same, with few technical questions. It again went well, and he assured me I'd be hearing from the original recruiter to discuss an onsite interview. Another week passed, and I had to ping the recruiter again to get the response that my tech screen had received "excellent feedback" and they wanted to fly me out to Boston. We worked together to arrange travel dates, and they booked flights and hotel reservations. The next morning I woke up with an email saying my interview had been canceled, as the position had been filled. That was the end of my contact with DraftKings. I told them I was disappointed but understood, but in reality, the interview process was extremely poorly managed for a company of this size. Future applicants beware; you might get hung out to dry by a recruiting department that has almost no professionalism. Would not recommend.

      We deeply regret the candidate experience you encountered during our interview process. DraftKings is a high growth company where our hiring priorities often change unexpectedly. That was the case here. The role you interviewed for was a remote Software Engineer position with unique expertise within product development. The demand internally changed quickly and we felt it was a waste of your time to proceed with the on-site interview. The recruiter communicated the update as early as possible. The team identified you as a talented Software Engineer. We apologize again and hope the best for you in your job search. Jason

      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.

      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.
