DraftKings interview questions

First stage was a very brief phone screen. I was asked a couple of logic/probability questions and shortly after I was told I would be given the opportunity to go to Boston for an on-site interview. The first interview was a quasi-case; it was mostly mental math, and the interviewer was able to offer some quick helping points when I got stuck. The second interview was a behavioral interview where I was asked about my resume and other experiences. Neither lasted too long, and afterward I went to lunch with a current employee. Everybody was very friendly and the interview seemed to go well. I was told that I would hear back in a short time frame about next steps, and it all seemed positive. That short time frame expired, and I did not hear back for awhile. I finally got a call back saying that my candidacy was no longer being pursued. I was told that there were no major red flags and the interviewers enjoyed my presence, but I was not hired because I was too slow. Although my memory may be fuzzy about other details, I clearly remember never being told that I was being timed. If a company is not going to hire me based solely on how fast I am in the case, I would at least expect to be told that time is a factor. Otherwise I will take my time and double/triple check my mental calculations.

Applied a DK a few times before I got a response. Initial phone screen like every other interview, followed by a more in depth phone interview. They'll fly you out w. hotel if your selected to interview on site if you have a long commute, they are very friendly and personable and are actually interested in every candidate they bring in. They dont want to interview 100 candidates so do your homework and go in with confidence and personality. The actual interviews were very relaxed and in-depth at the same time. Plan on interviewing with multiple different people and working through problem solving questions on the fly. When you first walk into their waiting room it can be a little intimidating as I was sitting in a room full of other candidates interviewing, although I think for different roles. Once your into the main office you feel right at home and welcome, prepare as much as you can because as you can imagine everybody wants a chance to work at DK and getting the interview might be the hardest part.
