The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Big Fish Games (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2009
Interview
Met with senior recruiter who presented very efficiently and created a comfortable atmosphere during the interview process. Met with product manager, director of data warehousing, lead DBA, scrum master (PM) and CIO. Overall the interview experience was pleasant and rewarding.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Big Fish Games (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2011
Interview
Phone interview - 30 minutes.
Since the time was short, we skipped the "usual" stuff - my last job, what i did there. I briefed him my overall work experience. SDLC and emphasized more on situational based questions. "What would u do if..." kinda ones. The interviewer first walked me through a couple of scenarios and asked me to identify the possible test cases.
The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Big Fish Games (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2009
Interview
To be fair, the recruiter in HR was very good and gave it her best to find a spot for me. I interviewed for two different positions, but found both hiring managers to not understand what they wanted from the position or hire. In fact the first position I interviewed for they ended up changing the job title and requirements eventually.
Hey Big Fish, don't waste people's time while your figure your stuff out.
The second interview was for a position that I was highly qualified for, but the hiring mgr knows nothing about search marketing. I felt I was pre-judged because I had mainly worked at startups, or companies in the online marketing space he had never heard of. He really was not qualified to interview someone for the position, he didn't really know what he was asking
I walked away from the process annoyed and felt like it was a big waste of time.
