This interview process was really pleasant and quick. I liked how communicative the company was. The recruiter call was really encouraging and helpful before my first interview. I had a good conversation with the interviewer, who was interesting to talk to. Although I didn't advance, I was notified promptly via an automated and a personal email from the recruiter. The entire experience was smooth, and I'd be eager to reapply for future roles.

Started with a quick phone chat from the recruiter, then a phone interview with the hiring manager. After that, there was a really simple online assessment (OA). The process wrapped up with an in-person interview with the team. It all felt pretty straightforward and not too crazy, though my experience might have been a bit different from what others have gone through.

First there was a phone interview, then a HM interview, followed by a group interview, and finally a round where they asked behavior questions and about my past experience. They also discussed salary and benefits in the final round. Having a QA background and game interests would be a bonus for the HM.

I went through 6 interviews in total for this contract role. It started with a recruiter call, which was pretty standard. Then I met with the director, and that seemed to go well. The last part was kind of a mess, though. They scheduled me for 4 interviews straight after each other, with a break right before the last one. One interviewer was in his car, and another guy seemed totally clueless about why I was even there. Seriously, respect candidates' time, we're people too. Got an auto rejection after 6 weeks.
