Great company with lots of opportunity
Great company with lots of opportunity
DK definitely asks people to work hard, but they have generous benefits (including tuition reimbursement) and fun extras (in-office massage, haircut, and manicures; snacks; discount tickets to games/concerts) as well as competitive salaries.
As part of the tech organization, I get to work on interesting projects alongside some very smart engineers.
We have all-hands meetings that are very transparent, and the CEO will answer any question honestly; you can even submit them anonymously ahead of time if you don't want to ask in front of everyone.
There is a very strong bias for action. This could be a good thing, but sometimes it is pushed too far and results in high stress for little net benefit.
The negative media attention can also be a pain. I work for a great company, love my job, and have a great career trajectory, but when people ask me about work, it is often in this hushed tone, as if they are embarrassedly asking about a relative with addiction problems.
Please keep it up! I have never worked for a leadership team that I believed in so strongly.

DraftKings Interview Experiences

Phone screen with a higher management position. I didn't like the vibe of the interviewer. He seemed a bit aggressive and didn't have a clear idea of what he was looking for.

There is an OA given, probably creating an org chart. Then you get invited to an hour-long technical interview. No behavioral questions were asked; it was just one question with parts. I ran out of time, so I would say just be efficient with solving

OA -> Final round technical. Both were very similar, involving OOP with four parts. The OA was much harder than the final round. Both questions involved implementing a class related to business decisions.
