      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Mar 30, 2021
      Anonymous employee
      Boston, MA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

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

      Interview

      I applied through their careers site. A recruiter reached out within a couple of weeks. Had a decent chat about my experience and gave me a good overview of what to expect and what I was interviewing for. This was followed up by a hacker rank exercise. It's a fairly detailed feature to implement but given some thought and time, it can be done. I would suggest preparing datastructure fundamentals for this exercise. It's in line with most of what has been said in the previous posts. Onsite was 4 virtual rounds + 1 Hr round - Behavioral round : This round was with a senior manager discussing 3-4 Behavioral aspects. Was very engaging and I liked this interview. Make sure you have good supporting points and reasoning for your choice of the story. - Technical Deep Dive: This round was me explaining one of the projects that I felt was the most challenging one and the one I could explain end to end. The interviewer was nice and we had a good chat about various aspects of the project and the improvement we could make. - Object Oriented Design: This was basically designing a real world system using OOD. Initially I didn't do very well in terms of grasping the problem but as I started laying out objects and moved further into the discussion (the interviewer was helpful in guiding me) I was able to design a somewhat fair structure. - Coding challenge: It's a DK related game with a set of challenges to achieve. Most of them are straightforward except for a couple of them that are tricky. I struggled a bit understanding a couple of the features towards the end but discussing with the interviewer helped me approach it successfully. - HR round: This was just an overview round with the HR (who I was in touch with for the whole process). All in all it was a good experience with the interview process. I am really excited about their products and the industry so didn't hesitate accepting the offer. Good luck!

      I applied online. I interviewed at DraftKings (Toronto, ON) in Dec 2025

      Interview

      Initial coding round was Object Oriented programming. Later 4 rounds was mostly OOPs design and one project deep design along with coding using agentic AI. The interviews were concept oriented. Deep Dive of your project is important. Emphasize more on abstraction, extensibility and scalability

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at DraftKings (Dublin, Dublin) in Feb 2024

      Interview

      Applied on linkedin with an honest CV. Got an initial call which did not go well, the recruiter seemed annoyed I did not have a particular experience on my CV. I did not hide this fact from them prior to the call so I feel they should have done their due dilligence before wasting my time. I was surprised afterwards they went on to ask me some technical questions. I flubbed some, answered some ok. She would rush me on if i knew the answer but be a bit judgemental if I did not. She concluded that these were simple questions that would be asked in the next interview. Fair enough but I was not expecting them in this call, and from a recruiter with no experience in software development. Felt like among my most negative experiences in an interview for being judged for what I hadnt gotten experience in, and then what I didnt know of the top of my head.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at DraftKings in Jan 2024

      Interview

      First was a HR/Recruiter Screening over the phone followed by a tech Screening via Hackerrank with 2 engineers. The tech screeners were polite, but it was odd that they were basically totally silent for the first 45 minutes, and one did not ever turn on his camera. Then 3 more interviews: - OO problem - Technical Interview - Behavioral/Culture Fit Interview

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      tech screening was the one everyone has been mentioning -- 4 part customer/discount via hackerrank
