Consisted of a coding test through HackerRank. I didn't make it through this stage. The thing that sucked was they made you take it in Java, which - for someone rusty with Java - was especially annoying. I really do think that, had the test been language agnostic, as it is with almost every other company I've interviewed with. It's easy to catch up on syntax stuff in a day or two once you've gotten a job, but for a 90 minute technical screen you really should be evaluated on your best language.
Thank you for interviewing with DraftKings. We offer students five programming languages when taking their HackerRank test, but we relayed your feedback to the Talent Acquisition team. Best of luck.
