Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Boston, Massachusetts
Process
Very informal call with a recruiter who told me about the product they are building.
Then a Zoom interview. I never made it to the next round, which was, I think, a 4-hour onsite.
Questions
Coding problem - 3 collections of data, and you have to apply certain rules to filter out a result.
Collection 1 has some data. Collection 2 has some data. Collection 2 has relationships between 1 and 2 (like a DB 1-many relationship table).
Very interesting problem, not like a LeetCode Algo problem. If you're a good programmer, you would know it.
It's just about how you solve it.

DraftKings Work Experiences
- 5.0Great Company, Great TeamSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeBoston, Massachusetts, United StatesSeptember 12, 2020Pros: The company is very open with what's going on. The management works with you to make and reach your goals. Great team dynamics and cross-team communication. Fun work environment (miss seeing the team each day since WFH started).Cons: Only down for me, engineers wear many hats, and some of those can really cut into the day. The plan of engineers needing to own the process from design to support is understandable, but it isn't my favorite. Though not put forth by the company, the people who really excel never really turn it off, always watching the dashboards, etc. It can take you over.
