The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pocket Gems in Mar 2017
Interview
I applied online. The process took more than 1 month.
I had two rounds of technical phone interview, each lasts around 45mins. The questions are pretty simple and straightforward, all completed in C++.
After that, I had another two phone interviews with engineer from different teams. One is behavior questions, and one is asking about my past experience.
But in the end they rejected me. And the reason is:
They are only looking for a server engineer who is good at Python. Yes, PYTHON! That explains why War Dragon's server is so laggy. And I never said that I know Python. I don't know why they still want to waste my time to continue interviewing me.
Luckily I got an offer from Facebook already, so good luck with their Python game server.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Give me an example of a failure.
2. Give me an example of a relationship that helped you.
3. Do you know Python? (During the last interview....)
I faced the first technical interview. I was sent a hackerrank link. There were 3 questions. First two were coding questions and 1 was a code review question. All the questions were manageable not so difficult. I found code review pretty easy. Waiting for decision.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Pocket Gems
Interview
It was a difficult interview with little to no help from interviewer. Despite expecting game development questions, it was a standard tech interview which felt weird. I also studied on their games but that was not helpful for the interview

Interview
Received OA within 2 weeks of applying. Received rejection after 2 weeks of completing OA. The overall process was nice and quick, and they responded quickly which I though was great.
