I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at HoYoverse (Los Angeles, CA) in Apr 2024
Interview
The interview process goes like this:
#1 recruiter round
#2 team lead round
#3 VP & regional lead round
#4 hiring manager round
My experience with the hiring process was outrageous, not because I wasn't hired, but because my time as a candidate wasn't respected after all.
I applied in January and got rejected in May. The whole process took me 4 months, and I see the productivity is unacceptably poor. This period was conducted by 2 Zoom calls (1 recruiter and 1 team lead) and multiple email conversations about the delays due to internal reasons.
My interviews also showed a severe communication problem between HR and business departments. Duties for this role from the job board, the recruiter and the team lead, changed all the time when I discussed the details with them. Plus, the interviewers didn't properly answer my questions, which I came across from a landing page relatively close to the position I applied for.
It shouldn't take a candidate 4 months to hear they are no longer considered. Don't waste their time.

Question 1
What's your favorite character in Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail? Please provide reasons.
Proctored online assessment, 1st round interview with a creator team member, 2nd round interview with a manager. Didn't make it further, but I believe there's another round with the recruiter and director? Sadly, they never wrote back...
