      Associate Software Engineer Interview

      Apr 1, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Blizzard Entertainment in Mar 2016

      Interview

      Two weeks after applying online, a recruiter emailed me asking to schedule a phone screen. The phone screen lasted about 10 minutes, and he asked me for my desired salary up front. The phone interview was scheduled three days from that point. I messed up the interview horribly, and sure enough two days later I got the email, "You are encouraged to apply again in the not too distant future", which was nice. P.S. You know those "Questions to ask your interviewer" articles? My interviewer literally said, "Wow that's a really generic question". I'm never asking those again. Either ask a good question or don't ask any at all.

      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Blizzard Entertainment (Irvine, CA)

      Interview

      Very straightforward and simple, yet long process with many rounds. Every interviewer was extremely friendly and easy to talk to, but almost every round was a ton of similar behavioral questions and scenarios.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Many behavioral questions about how you might react to scenarios or what you have done in the past.

      Associate Software Engineer Interview

      Aug 4, 2020
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Blizzard Entertainment in Jul 2020

      Interview

      The process involved an hour-long phone interview with members of the team I'm interviewing with, a fairly in-depth programming test, another interview going over the coding test, then a large multi-person video interview (probably in-person during non-covid times) with people from various disciplines. Blizzard's interview process has been by far my favorite that I've gone through. The people I talked to were all super friendly and really gave off the vibe that they wanted me to succeed. Did a great job at making me feel comfortable during interviews. Pretty much my only complaint is that it took a while to get through the whole process.
