Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York

Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.
The interview process is straightforward. We did some basic coding challenges that weren't too hard. The system design section was similar to what I'd expect, and they asked questions that were all pretty standard. Then they also wanted to see a bit of a cultural fit.
Questions
The task was to create a system that makes it easy for people to place their bets.

Good Food, Terrible Culture
Engineer • Former Employee
Sunnyvale, Texas, United States
July 27, 2025
Pros: Free food - Mon, Wed & Fri.
Free coffee & snacks all day.
Competitive base salary.
Cons: Everything top to bottom. First of all, the skillset needed to perform the job role in the Sunnyvale factory is not something you'd ever imagine to do in the US.
To undercut, Fanatics hired a couple of contract agencies that source the talent. 95% of employees (while they are genuinely nice people & hard workers) are migrants without proper documentation.
It's also a NY-based tech bro company, meaning a kid with 3 years of post-college experience will have a director title and a kid with 7 years of experience will have a VP title. The CEO is a party guy and loves to party with Kim K. What kind of culture would you expect to transcend here?
WLB sucks. Be ready to work 12 hours a day, Monday through Friday.
