A few months after applying online, I was contacted through email to set up a phone interview. The first phone interview was more general, questions about myself, my interests in the company and personal hobbies. The second interview was with two engineers. They asked a bit about my experience, then gave me an over the phone exercise: design a set of test cases for some random object they gave me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I suppose the test design question about the random object. There wasn't anything all that hard.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Blizzard Entertainment
Interview
I applied online, they got me on the phone the next day and flew me out to interview a week or so later.
I was excited to hear about the role they envisioned for me, after a lengthy trip, arriving and signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement. But I didn't learn much about the role/project.
After a full 9-6 day of interviewing, I was asked how I would feel about moving across continents to work on a project that I was told nothing about, when I questioned this I was informed "Each one of us joined without knowing what we would be doing.." This just didn't feel right to me, I am not so young anymore, I have people other than myself to worry about.
The company seemed nice, but this playing the cards close to the chest must bite them sometimes. To me, signing an NDA is to allow both sides to learn about working with each other, the Blizzard process definitely felt one sided.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Blizzard Entertainment
Interview
Recruiter called me regarding this position and she set me up with a phone interview with the managers. I had to call in on the interview as oppose to the other way around. One of the interviewer was quite rude.
