I applied online. I interviewed at PlayStation (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2018
Interview
Terrible experience with unprofessional, rude, obnoxious, and condescending staff. Will boycott products in the future.
Similar to interviewing for a mob family or Hollywood casting position. They asked ridiculous questions.
Interview questions [1]

2) What was Playstation's best selling game in 2016 and 2017?

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PlayStation (Sheffield, Inglaterra) in Apr 2018
Interview
I applied online and one month later got an invitation for an interview.
The interview consisted of 2 parts, the first being a phone interview with 2 interviewers (one making questions and both taking notes) and the second one being an onsite 2:1 with the previous interviewers (the 2nd interview took place roughly 2 weeks after the first one).
For the first interview I was asked personality questions, scenario questions and a pair of technical questions.
The second interview was more laid back, it mostly about my knowledge of games and game features. It looked like the main focus of this one was really just to get to know the candidate personally and to see if he/she can make objective opinions regardless of their love/hate for a specific title.
By the end of the week of the interview I was offered a position, which I accepted.

Question 1
A Producer approaches you and gives you additional tasks to do, however taking on these tasks would result in you being unnable to finish your initial task on time. What would you do?
You are given a set of tasks and told in which order you should prioritize them, but you believe you should priorize another task above the others. What do you do?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at PlayStation (San Diego, CA) in Dec 2015
Interview
I had a phone interview and a week later I was in a 'class' that walked you through what the job was. If you had a certain score you got to the next phase of waiting for a position on a title to open. I spoke with the trainer after class and got talking about games. I got a call for the following day. I dont think that they test anymore so this is probably outdated
