I applied online. I interviewed at DraftKings in May 2021
Interview
HR screen, hiring manager interview, 1/2 day multiple role/level interviews (VP, director, manager, analysts across product, engineering, ux) with live analytics exercise. The live exercise was hard, but amazing. It was facilitated by an analyst and you were presented with a use case where multiple data points were being collected and you had to use that to provide a hypothesis as to why there was slow down in the process. While there did seem to be a right answer that the interviewer had in mind, it was much more around how you thought through the problem. A lot of focus was given on time criticality and taking a big problem and distilling it down to the smallest priority analysis. Amazing experience and felt like they really got to see how I would approach problems on the job.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
When was a time that you disagreed with stakeholders and how did you go about that situation?
Initial interview with hiring manager, then panel interview if chosen to move forward. The panel interview consists of an interview with 3 employees in the hiring group or associated group.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DraftKings in Oct 2025
Interview
Standard multi round interview process. One of the final rounds was the analytics team. As a PM, don’t tell them you actually like looking at data yourself or have SQL experience. They immediately turned on me and questioned my abilities. Tell me you are insecure in your own role without telling me.
