Receive email to schedule talk, and then no news after the unofficial talk. But its engineering blog and github repo are good to read. I have no idea of the whole process and there are such few information online.
I applied online. I interviewed at Activision (Vancouver, BC) in Feb 2025
Interview
Technical, followed by behavioral. 3 coding questions, 1 SQL, systems design, teamwork, optimized solutions, leetcode style, trees, graphs, ml, and more, I need to hit 30 word count so this is here as well.
Nothing crazy. Pretty standard interview process with behavioral phone screening as well as technical rounds. Preliminary technical interview was not too hard, latter interview was a bit more difficult though.
Total 4 rounds of interviews, mix of coding practices, behavioral questions, and CS knowledge questions. Process took several weeks. Friendly interviewer and good team culture. Good conversation overall, talked a lot about the team's project and mission.
