The hiring process at PlayStation takes an average of 60 days when considering 1 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Gerente had the quickest hiring process (on average 60 days), whereas Gerente roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 60 days).
We discussed the position over Skype. There were six or so different people who interviewed me. It was difficult at times to hear them properly because of the audio quality. Some of the interviewers had good questions, others seemed to have nothing to really ask me at all.
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at PlayStation (Aliso Viejo, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
I have been contacted by a recruiter with preliminary questions via email, then the recruiter made a mix-up and I ended up in a phone interview for a wrong position with a different team which of course I am not qualified for. From what I heard, recruiters inside SONY are a mess... very disorganized. Or maybe it's a strategy to prove to the Dept of Labor "we don't find qualified workforce in the area, so we need H1B visas in order to underpay workers"
I applied online. I interviewed at PlayStation (Aliso Viejo, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
The first interview was over the phone with a panel of engineers from different teams. I applied from a backend position but the panel thought I would be a better fit for an infrastructure team.
The onsite interview was a standard all day interview with different groups of people. It seemed like at least two of the interviews were not planned, so I just spent the full hour chatting with the panel. The other two interviews were on systems design and networking. The questions were average.
The next day the recruiter reached out saying that the interviews went very well and that the executive team was deciding what position would be best for my profile. A week later got an email saying something similar that the execs were still deciding. Finally, I reached out to the recruiter after 3 weeks since the onsite interview. She didn't reply.
