I got an invite for a technical interview a few days after I applied. It had three sections and took over an hour. There were logic, calculation, gaming knowledge, data analysis, and some technical programming questions, plus some writing questions.
- Questions about SQL programming logic, including select, join, and union.
- Logic questions asking what can be inferred about characters given a game situation.
- Analysis questions about product cases.

They asked about the difference between business analytics and data analytics. Then they asked about two internships related to data analysis. They asked one of the new users how promotion analysis was done (what metrics were used and what were the results). What kind of game do you play? For games played: How to use metrics to analyze activities, and further ask the segmentation indicators to support decision making. How to analyze the low retention of new users.
