It was a pretty standard interview process. I spoke with the HR manager and then various members of the team. The questions were typical for the role, with some interesting follow-ups about my interests in basketball and the league.

The interview process was straightforward and relaxed, without a formal script. Given it's a small company, expect to handle diverse responsibilities. It seems like a great workplace for those passionate about sports.

Started with a recruiter chat, then talked to the Hiring Manager, and finally met the department's boss. The recruiter and HM were fine, but the department boss was unprofessional and rude, maybe even racist, and cut the meeting short. I knew then I wouldn't get the job. Good luck to whoever did. Everyone likes the NBA, but this boss is horrible. You don't have to hire everyone, but at least be respectful and acknowledge their skills.
