It was a really smooth process. I had an initial HR chat, then met with the hiring manager. After that, I had a session with the product team and finally met with a higher-level product director. The HR team was super responsive and gave me clear instructions throughout.

Behavioral Technical Case
The interview process kicked off with a recruiter call that mainly focused on fit questions like your interest in Zynga, the specific role, and your reasons for being in tech. They also asked some gaming-related questions, such as your ideas for a new game and the metrics we use. The second stage involved three interviews with current managers, where they dug into questions about game metrics for both mobile and PC platforms. They wanted to gauge my passion for gaming and asked about potential new features, strategies to boost engagement, and troubleshooting engagement dips.
