I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at DraftKings
Interview
One 30-min HR interview, went through my resume, asked several behavioral questions .
One technical interview, asked to do a OOP problem on screen. The difficulty is average but the interviewer wasn't very good at leading the direction of effort. Not a typical software engineering interview. But I feel like it is expected for a small startup.

Question 1
Why draftkings? How much do you know about our product?
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.

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.
