I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Zynga (South San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2009
Interview
I was referred to one of the Zynga employees by a former colleague of mine.
We talked on the phone for about an hour and I was invited for an in-person interview. The scheduling was somewhat strange as one recruiter called me on the phone and a different one sent me an e-mail with the instructions on how to get there and who I will meet.
When I arrived it turned out that the instructions were somewhat wrong and I was at the wrong building. Thankfully the building where I was supposed to be was a two minute walk away so I managed to get there on time.
I met with 3 engineers and one business person. The technical questions were quite easy (writing sample code, designing a service, etc) so I was surprised that I did not receive an offer.
The thing that I did not like about the whole process was that they never even called or e-mailed to tell me that I was not a good fit for the position...
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.
