Interview
Applied online, a few days later got a call to schedule a 20 minute phone interview.
The phone interviewer asked what I knew about the role, the company and betting in general.
Was then asked to come for a f2f interview the following week.
Before going into the interview they give you a short questionnaire testing your knowledge of sport, odds and the exchange.
The questions consisted of:
arithmetic questions
converting fractional to decimal odds
naming the sport associated with various athletes.
Then called in for interview with the team leader and another member of the team.
