Behavioral Case
The interview process was pretty straightforward. It included an HR screening, followed by a case study interview, a behavioral interview, and then another case study interview. I only made it to the HR screening and I don't think my career goals were aligned with DraftKings.

Behavioral Technical Case Presentation
The interview process involved 4 rounds. It started with an HR phone screening where they asked about my background and interest in DraftKings. Then, there was a phone-based case study where I had to calculate the expected value of tickets in different scenarios, like buying online versus from a third party with a risk of fakes, and also calculate EV with a raffle. Following that, a 30-minute video behavioral interview focused on how I handled various situations. The final round was a consulting-style case study with an analytics focus, requiring me to create visualizations to support theories on why customers were unhappy with a hypothetical train service. This involved analyzing the train system's setup, proposing reasons for customer dissatisfaction, graphing available data to test these theories, and suggesting solutions for a chosen issue.

Behavioral Technical Case
I applied for the Business Data Analyst internship back in September 2016. The process kicked off with an initial phone interview that covered personality and background questions. Then, I had two technical phone interviews where I was asked about expected value and probability. The final stages involved a lengthy video case interview and a one-on-one personality interview with a team member. DraftKings was really quick after that, and they offered me the summer internship on the very same day. I ended up interning in Boston from June to August 2017, and guess what? They offered me a full-time Business Data Analyst position!
