There were 2 rounds in total. The first part was an online HackerRank coding challenge, followed by a technical round on Zoom with an engineer. The interview itself was great, and the engineer who interviewed me was really friendly.
One thing to note here is that my interview was in mid-October. People who interviewed after me heard back sooner, and I'm still stuck in this indefinite limbo. I was originally told that I'd be hearing back by the end of the week, but it kept getting pushed back. Here we are, 2 months since my final interview, and I still don't have an answer.
Every time I try to follow up with my recruiter, I get the same response: they don't have an answer for me right now and the team wants to interview everyone in the process. It's been really competitive.
I'd usually be more calm and patient, but I have another offer deadline coming up soon, and yet the team doesn't seem willing to expedite my application. I'd love to work with DraftKings, and my recruiter said she received positive feedback from the team. Unfortunately, I can't wait past this Friday. I'd appreciate it if I could get an answer about my candidacy by then.
I've usually heard excellent reviews about DraftKings, which is what got me excited about this place in the first place. I really don't want these communication delays to change my opinions. Thank you.
