1. Recruiter phone call. 2. Hiring Manager phone call. 3. In-person interview. Everyone was very nice. There were 5 people on the interviewing panel. I had to write code on the board.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at PlayStation (San Diego, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Position was a 6 month contract to hire. Phone screen by hiring manager then 2 hour on-site interview with team. Phone screen and on site, in my opinion, went well. Because white board session was interrupted they sent me home and invited me to complete codility exercise. I declined as not excited about working in C++.

Interview
Lady didn't sound like she was too interested in me. She called to set up an appointment and we did. She calls about 15 minutes late, it was quite formal. We went through a few personal questions and at the end she asks me if I have any questions and I asked her about the DB that SNEI uses. In retrospect, I'm glad I didn't get this job. Looking into doing something related to security instead now.

Question 1
Questions are really general, they basically ask you personal things like hobby, strengths, weaknesses, what you learn from past projects (if applicable). In the end she asks if I had any questions and I asked her about the technologies they used.
