Applied online. Contacted next day for Phone interview. 30 minutes. Very unprofessional experience. Initially, I was excited due to their fun reputation. Unfortunately, I read about how they are backed up on vendor payments and had to merge with Fan Duel. Despite this, I was still excited, but then HR called me 36 minutes after the proposed time. I insisted that I had a meeting in 20 and couldn't talk. I had just sent out a set of times to meet in future. HR encouraged we talk then offering no explanation for why they were so late to call. We ran through my resume. With 8 minutes left, I emphasized my time limit given HR had called 36 minutes late and I had made clear in email and again on phone that I had a meeting at 2PM. “This will be quick,” the HR person said. He then proceeded to ask me these pointless brainteasers. I was immediately turned off. Brainteasers have been proven time and time again to show you nothing about a candidate. Google outlawed them and said, “they serve only to make the interviewer feel smart.” Given my aversion to brainteasers and how short a time I had to answer them, I purposely bombed them so I could make my meeting at work. I currently have a very good job, and was only browsing as I near the end of my MBA. This is a company to avoid. Their professionalism, their situation with regulations has made them cash poor, and the company’s style of interviewing all leave something to be desired. I would recommend a company with a stronger financial situation and one that interviews with case interviews or behavioral which is proven to show more about a person (and thus you'll end up with better colleagues).

A coworker who had applied for the position did not pass the screen referred me to the position thinking it would be interesting and that I'd be a good fit. I was not looking but because it was an interesting job description I reached out to the recruiter. They responded quickly and I had a phone interview with the recruiter the next day. The recruiter gave a detailed description of the position and asked about my experience and how fit. Seemed satisfied and asked if I'd do a couple of exercises. We did a prob & stats warm up and then a more interesting problem solving exercise. I knew what to expect from my friend but I did not do well at explaining my thought process. One of the exercises was clearly designed to see how I think, in fact, the second one was so interesting that I've asked it to five friends since ... the smartest one got it. Recruiter gave me feedback indicating that whereas my experience was inline with the expected ... I probably wouldn't do well on subsequent interviews as I haven't been practicing what they poke at in the interview. I agree. It was a great experience. This company clearly takes great care in screening candidates. You definitely have to be really smart to make the grade. Frankly, I was shocked at how smart the recruiter is ... can't imagine what the team is like ... must be brilliant.
