I recently finished up a complete interview process with DraftKings for the Data Analyst position. I submitted an application through their website and was contacted back about ~1 week later looking to continue on with a phone interview. The first phone interview was about ~30 minutes in length. I spoke to a current manager on the analytics team for about half of the time about his current responsibilities and my resume, and then we moved onto the case question which I've outlined before. Finally, we had a few minutes to catch up about any possible questions that I had. Overall, I knew that I butchered the final part of the case question, and did not expect to here back because of this. However, about 3 weeks later, I was emailed looking to follow-up for a second phone interview. This one followed a the same structure (resume review, case, questions) but was a bit longer and again was with a manager of the analytics team. I am lead to believe that these second phone interviews are infrequent - that you either do good enough on the first to proceed or are cut. This time I managed to crush the case part and was invited the next day for an in-person the next week. I was flown out and put up at a nice hotel in Boston. The interview process lasted just over 4 hours. I dealt with, in order: - 2 separate case interviews with different managers and an hour allotted to each - a 1 hour lunch break with two members of the analytics team. Didn't seem to be any pressure here, though the team members had a lot of interesting things to say and were good about answering questions - a 1 hour behavioral interview, mostly resume review and speaking to work experiences, again with a manager of the analytics team - a ~30 minute review with the HR lady When I spoke with the HR lady, I was informed that typically they'll send you home early if you did not perform well enough, and that reaching her meant that you were likely good enough. Alas, this was ultimately not the case for me, despite the glowing reviews she gave me. I was contacted by phone the next day and told that while I was a great cultural fit, I came up a bit short on one of the cases, which kinda contradicts what she had to say the day before, but oh well. Everyone was super hospitable, friendly, and informative.

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.
