I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zynga
Interview
Very typical interview starting off with introducing yourself and then proceeding with a couple general QA questions like how would you test this app. As long as you demonstrate a passion for games and provide a reasonable thought process to testing, you should be good.

I was interviewed by 3 people while I was there. They mostly asked me a lot of questions about me and what I knew. The process took maybe an hour or so in total.

Question 1
Describe all the causes for edge cases you can. (When a game ceases to work)
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zynga (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
1) Applied on the Job searching web site;
2) Got an email from the HR to set up a phone screen with one of the managers;
3) Got invited for face to face interview;
4) Got offer from the recruiter for unacceptable pay rate.
I applied for QA Engineer-II position, and on the phone screen the interviewer said that the position is QA Engineer-II. But at the on-site interview they said it's QA Engineer-I (which is lower qualification and lower pay).
Overall interview went well. I was interviewing with 4 people, 30 minutes each. All of them were QA managers and the last one was a senior QA manager.
A week later the recruiter contacted me and said that they would like to make me an offer. And the pay was $18 (whaaaaat? o_O). I said that I had to think about it. I called back and nicely asked if they could make it $25 per hour. Because I have 6 years of experience. Also, when I checked the salaries on the Glassdoor, they were paying 30-35 for this position. The recruiter said that she totally understands me and she will discuss that possibility with her co-workers. So eventually she never called back. I tried to call her cell and left a message to clarify the process, she did not answer the phone (twice). I tried to contact HR via email and did not get any response.
Overall, I got the impression that it is a very cheap company with very unprofessional employees.

Question 1
Tell me about your experience. What is the test plan? What is the difference between smoke testing and functional testing. Test a pen.
