Seems after 4 years of mostly bad reviews someone would have learned but obviously not. Started off with a call with the recruiter and then we decided to move on on the technical phone interview. The interview questions are about DraftKings business model in which a lot of people are not familiar with so they ask you to watch a couple of 15-minute videos and the recruiter asked me to create account and they will deposit $DK money in it so I can go ahead and familiarize myself on how they work. I created the account and sent him the user-id and then nothing happened, no response no deposit that was a flag of incompetency (flag 1). Why do promise something you can't deliver? A day before the interview they realized they had a conference so they had to reschedule, I'd understand if the interviewer had a personal issue but this is clear lack of communication between departments or bad time management on the interviewer's side (flag 2). Fast-forward getting into the interview the software engineer, he started off asking if I have an idea about their business model, my response was that I watched the tutorial videos but wasn't given the fake money deposit as promised and told them to bear with me as I'm not familiar with everything they have, they noted and said they will bring that back to the department. Starting with the first question I took sometime getting the business model and what they need and once I got the idea I started thinking of the solution and before I started vocalizing anything the interviewer goes and says you can do with a double loop solution, so I went with that solution as it was their hint (flag 3, will come to this later) and there were 5 more questions of the same sort in which I breezed with minimal amount of code (one liners for a couple). I finished the questions on time and felt good about myself that those questions were aced. Well, I was wrong... a couple of days later I receive an email from the recruiter that they will not move forward, so I responded if they could provide more details as I'm surprised by that response. They came back that the first answer was of complexity of O(n^2) go to flag 3 and see why would offer me a hint saying its ok while its not ok. Is this kind of a mind game? Second feedback is because you struggled with understanding the business model well refer to flag 1. Lastly, that I didn't have the time to write unit tests which made go re-read the interview email confirmation which has zero references that I have to write unit test code(flag 4). A piece of advice, asking people to write code with the not so famous fantasy football business model is so gimmicky and doesn't serve the interviewees any better, this something for more big techs like Amazon and Google and their famous models that we deal with on daily basis. Give your interviewers a proper training on how to perform interviews and they should talk when necessary and the hints should help the interviewees to succeed not to fail. Lastly it seems the recruitment team not improving and making false promises, this kind of empowered behavior is recipe for a failing organization. I don't think I'll be interested in interviewing with this company again as it seems they haven't changed in 4 years of mostly negative reviews.
