Applied via LinkedIn and was asked to do a phone screen a few weeks later. HR phone screen was easy. Pretty much the only questions were "walk me through your resume" and "why fanduel?" They asked my salary expectations, and I asked their budget. They gave a very low number as the "lower end, excuse me, I mean the starting range." I countered with a higher number that's on par with the current going rate for similar positions. They said it was "way too high," so I asked what their max budget was, and they said there "isn't really one." But there clearly is a budget if the number I said was too high.........Awkward dead silence followed. They also consider their salaries "competitive," but the only way that's true is if they're competing with other companies in the industry to see who can offer the worst compensation. I sent a thank you email, and was told I would get an update the following week. I never got one, so when I emailed the HR person to ask, all I got back was the standard automatic rejection. The job description also included phrases like "fast-paced startup environment." I find it hard to believe that FanDuel still considers themselves a startup when they aren't one by literally any metric. They're too old (founded 2009), with too many employees (501-1000), and make too much revenue (est $100-500 mil), to call themselves a startup anymore. Typically when large established companies still say they're a startup, it just means they have poor upper management and are under staffed. Just my two cents.
