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.

Application
I applied online. I interviewed at DraftKings
Interview
I initially applied online and within about a week I received a response to schedule a phone screen. During the phone screen the recruiter asked about my background and gave me a basic conditional probability question which I answered without any issues. I was then informed that for the next round of the interview process, I would receive a phone call from representatives of the team. During the call I would be able to gain an insiders perspective on the responsibilities of the role as well as complete another exercise. Unfortunately, the second phone interview did not take place. After sending numerous emails and leaving several voice mail messages to the recruiter who scheduled the initial phone screen, the second phone interview did not take place.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
a.) What is the probability that 4 people are born in 4 different seasons?
b.) What is the probability that 4 people are born in the same season?
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
