Process
Applied through LinkedIn and had a wonderful (or so I thought) conversation with a technical recruiter. I felt pretty confident with my tech experience, knowledge of the company, and even my previous experience in the sports industry.
Got an email the following day saying my interview process was over.
Sort of an odd experience; I couldn't even get a Hackerrank challenge. Makes me think they forgot to take the job posting down and already hired someone. Waste of time.

DraftKings Work Experiences
- 2.0Not great, not terribleSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSofia, Sofia-Capital Municipality, BulgariaFebruary 16, 2022Pros: Multicultural working place with interesting projects. Inside the company, there are numerous different units. Each is doing a specific, unique part of the whole domain, taking responsibility for their services.Cons: Salary is competitive only when you initially join the company. After that, the yearly increase is definitely not impressive. In some units, the atmosphere is kind of toxic. People are burnt out, and the environment is not very friendly. The management doesn't appear to show any interest towards improving the state of employees located outside of the USA.
- 4.0Great Pay, Great TeamSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJuly 22, 2024Pros: The team is extremely cohesive and willing to help each other.Cons: Very "bro" culture at the company.
