The interview process had about four rounds, and I got to the second round. It started with a phone call and then a meeting with a senior manager. The process seemed fine, but they didn't have clear long-term goals, which felt like a red flag to me. They were polite, but when they called to let me know I didn't get the job, they said, 'Our senior manager thinks you'd be a better fit for events.' I don't have any experience in events, only in project management. I can't think of any reason they'd say that except for the fact that I'm a woman, which felt really sexist.

The process was straightforward and the team was very open about the company culture and what it's like working at Draftkings. It was great that the interview panel was made up of people I would be working with on a daily basis.

Behavioral Technical

The interview process was explained beforehand, but I didn't expect it to be so focused on just checking boxes. I think the interviewers could be more empathetic and less robotic, especially given the current job market. I felt very judged and questioned about things that, in this day and age, I don't think are necessary. I was hoping for a more open-minded atmosphere because of the company's young culture. I'm happy to discuss further.
