I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Zynga (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2016
Interview
I first had a phone round with live coding with an engineer. Easy questions.
This was followed by a day long onsite interview in their Toronto office. Mostly problem solving and algorithms. One software design question. Engineers aren't trying to trick you and are very helpful when you need hints. Lunch is provided.
Declined the offer because I got another one I was more interested in.
Pay and benefits are good and can be negotiated.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Motivation to apply to Zynga.
As for the technical questions, you need to prepare data structures and algorithms and databases. REST architectures etc.
1st Round DSA - I applied through LinkedIn, got call from HR team and interview round was scheduled. It was virtual round. 1 question of medium difficulty level was asked.
Interviewed for the role that was meant to be on client side using Unity. When it came to the technical interview, none of the questions asked were on interview experience. Mostly algorithm and C#
Old school. Teams consisting of same ethnicity and intend to hire same with no diversity in practice. No directions. Positions getting cancelled often. Waste of time for everyone. Pay has reduced over time.
