Interview level : medium Interview experience: Some interviewer were normal Some were weird (as in like anime level weird) I interviewed for senior level software engineer role. First round was two coding challenges and questions around tech stack in my resume. Coding problems were around leetcode easy and medium. This interviewer was normal. Then I moved to the final interview day (5 hrs long). I asked if they could split the interview over two days but they didn’t agree. Thats when I should have stopped interviewing but you live and learn. The interviews were split into 1 coding round, 1 system design and 3 behavioral interviews. First interview / behavioral - this was behavioral. This was normal interview. We went over some questions from my resume and had standard behavioral interview questions. This round went well Second interview / coding - this was ok. This was in between normal and weird. They ask you yo write code for a small feature. I easily able to complete about 90% of it. The question was decently worded. One section was confusing as it took me longer time to actually understand what was being asked. This coding challenge was not leetcode. Overall the coding challenge is medium level solving a use case. Third interview / behavioral - By far this was the weirdest interview. And weird one so far I have had in my interview. The person was vaping throughout the interview. This was very odd and unprofessional but I didn’t call the person on it. This behavioral round was very weird. The person compared Caesars sports betting to Google. I was like duh! A betting app versus a giant tech company but I was like whatever floats your boat. Fourth round / System design - This was very productive and great interview. I easily tasked with some work that centered around real time data streaming. I handled various failure scenarios and such and did excellent on it. Fifth round / behavioral- By this time I was exhausted. This behavioral round was also good. Nothing jumped out of it as out of ordinary. Overall I didn’t like the fact that they didn’t want to spread the interview over two days. And the person vaping throughput while conducting the interview was so off putting.

Interviewed for a Java position. Expect many interviews and a large time commitment. After the initial phone screen with recruiter, there was a live technical screen for a coding assessment via CoderPad. After passing that round they requested FIVE additional one-hour interviews to be completed in one day and gave me a select dates to choose from. These 5 rounds consisted of 3 behaviorals, another coding round, and a system design/architecture round. The rounds felt disorganized - for example 2 of the 5 joined late (one of which joined completely unprepared and spent 5+ minutes figuring out which "tell me about a time" questions to ask). Apparently Caesars thinks they are a FAANG-level company based on these requirements. During these interviews many if not all interviewers mentioned they are a "flat" organization meaning no one there has a direct manager and they'll all tell you it's a source of frustration for each of them. Perhaps a bullet dodged here, good luck to those that make it in.
