Behavioral Technical Coding

Received a response from the recruiter in under 48 hours after submitting my resume. Started with a phone call with the recruiter that involved behavioral and general questions, mostly focused on my previous work. Following that, I was invited for an onsite interview, which I could schedule within two weeks. The onsite consisted of four interviews: two with QA managers, one with a QA director, and one with a QA engineer. The manager interviews involved general problem-solving, like designing and testing a card game, as well as questions about QA processes and collaborating with colleagues. The director interview was primarily behavioral, discussing my career aspirations and potential growth within the company. The engineer interview included some IQ-style questions and a programming challenge.

Confirmed questions6 questions
  • How would you devise a card game and then test it?

  • How do you interact with your teammates?

Behavioral Technical

It's a pretty standard interview. You start by introducing yourself, then they ask a few general QA questions, like how you'd approach testing a particular app. If you show you're really into games and can explain your testing thoughts clearly, you should do well.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • Can you tell us about yourself?
  • What's your approach to testing this application?
  • How would you go about testing this game?

Quoted word for word from Zynga interview reports.

Four people need to cross a river at night using a narrow bridge that only holds two at a time. They have one torch, which must be used for every crossing. Person A takes 1 minute, B takes 2 minutes, C takes 5 minutes, and D takes 8 minutes to cross. When two cross together, they go at the slower person's speed. Can they all cross in 15 minutes or less? Please provide an algorithm to solve this puzzle.
