J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Zynga (San Francisco, CA) en févr. 2016
Entretien
On the basis of an employee referral, I sent in my resume for the position that focused on Javascript with some HTML/CSS. The initial phone screen was part behavioral and part technical, with some coding done over Collabedit (not as nice as some I've seen). There was real-world binary tree question.
Then there was a a 4-part on-site interview. Three were one on one, and one had two people. I was interviewed by the engineering manager for the position, a more senior engineering manager, a senior executive (former engineer), and a panel of a potential colleague and a more senior engineering manager.
I had a chance to step out, use the restroom and grab snacks/a drink, but four+ hours is a long time to be stuck in a room proving yourself. Still, it probably wasn't as bad as I had feared.
I felt like all of the problems were actually quite reasonable and made sense for working with the particular game. This was not just bizarre algorithms for the sake of being obscure. I felt like I was clueless about a lot of things, but I was able to push on, thinking out loud so they knew where I was trying to go.
After it was all said and done it took a little over a week to hear back from them.
Questions d'entretien [3]
Question 1
What considerations would you have if we wanted to add a certain kind of feature to this game with over a million daily players?
Looking at a small portion of the game, how would you go about validating a play?
If you won the powerball lottery today, what would you do tomorrow? (I think I was supposed to say: I'd still make games, because I love it! I was more pragmatic, but hopefully still positive.)
1st Round DSA - I applied through LinkedIn, got call from HR team and interview round was scheduled. It was virtual round. 1 question of medium difficulty level was asked.
Interviewed for the role that was meant to be on client side using Unity. When it came to the technical interview, none of the questions asked were on interview experience. Mostly algorithm and C#
Old school. Teams consisting of same ethnicity and intend to hire same with no diversity in practice. No directions. Positions getting cancelled often. Waste of time for everyone. Pay has reduced over time.
