I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PlayStation (San Diego, CA) in May 2015
Interview
Initial recruiter was very nice, however, second talent acquisition rep who scheduled my flight/hotel was horribly unprofessional. This should have been my first sign.
Flew me out and had 5+ hour interview with multiple members from various departments for a corporate management position. Thought interviews went very well except for final interview with VP who didn't look at me during the time he stepped into the conference room. Guess my answers didn't interest him and think me talking about my education turned him off. I had a bad feeling this portion of the interview didn't go well so I checked him out on LinkedIn and he didn't have any education noted whatsoever...and he was the VP.
They want to play in the same sandbox as Google or Apple but they're not even close.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at PlayStation (London, England)
Interview
Long, arduous with terrible communication. I got the sense it was more of a fishing expedition rather than an actual hire they needed. The most frustrating part after 3 interviews and 2 presentations Playstation completely ghosted me, which seems like a very common theme with them. Such a shame but it seems the general consensus is quite a negative one for such a great brand.
I interviewed over a month ago. Hiring manager said I would hear in 2 weeks. I still haven’t heard after emailing to check in. It’s ridiculously easy to send an email that says a candidate is rejected or that the process is taking longer than usual, so that lack of courtesy spoke volumes to me.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at PlayStation (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Jan 2021
Interview
As etapas foram: entrevista com empresa de recrutamento, entrevista com gestor direto, entrevista com gestor indireto, entrevista com gestor do gestor. Decidiram contratar meu concorrente porque, apesar dele ter menos experiência que eu, era mais fã de games. Segundo o recrutador externo, essa decisão não foi unânime e ele se surpreendeu com a motivação da escolha, pois foi um fator que nunca havia sido decisório.
