Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Zynga.
Senior QA Analyst
The interview is designed to assess your mindset, your ability to multitask, your knowledge of mobile games, your experience with game engines, whether you have experience leading a team, and your skills in creating dashboards and reports on time.
- How would you approach testing the online features of a game?
QA Engineer
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.
- How would you devise a card game and then test it?
- Can you describe your approach to QA processes?
- How do you interact with your teammates?
QA Engineer
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.
- Can you tell us about yourself?
- What's your approach to testing this application?
- How would you go about testing this game?
Zynga Qa Engineer Interview Questions
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.”
