I applied online. The process took 5+ months. I interviewed at DraftKings in Feb 2018
Interview
Had the phone interview get rescheduled twice. When it eventually happened the interviewer was clearly reading from a script and either did not attempt to hide it or was not very good at doing so. I was asked a few probability questions and could have been better prepared to solve them using a computer program or pen and paper. I did not receive a second interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the answer to the Monte Hall Problem and why. This is a common question that should be easy to google if you aren't familiar.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DraftKings in Oct 2024
Interview
4 rounds of interviews.
HR: Standard HR phone screening asking about your experience, why draftkings, etc.
Case Study 1: over the phone case study asking to calculated the expected value of tickets based on various situations. First is to calculated EV of tickets for an online sale vs buying from third party person at the stadium with a 20% chance of ticket being fake. Additional calculations are needed further into the question as other complexities are added, like if there is a raffle paying out $20k with a 1% chance of winning, what is the EV, and which option has the highest EV?
Behavioral: 30 minute video behavioral round asking about how you dealt with various situations. pretty standard
Case Study 2: Consulting style case study with an analytics twist that asks you to draw visualizations that would support your theories for why the customers are dissatisfied with the hypothetical train service. You are given information about the entire setup of the train system and asked to formulate possibilities for why customers are dissatisfied, draw graphs of data that is available that would prove or disprove if these theories are correct, and then come up with solutions to a chosen problem.
Typical behavioral and case interview questions. The interviews are very nice and welcoming. Be prepared to handle quantitative cases using basic probability concepts and qualitative cases. Make sure to always speak out loud so the interviewer knows your thought process. Had a final round scheduled but accepted another offer before completing it.
1st round: phone screening with statistics and probability case study
2nd round: phone interview with business case, similar to a consulting business case
3rd round: zoom interview with a behavioral section and another statistics case study
