The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Wargaming (Belgrade) in Oct 2023
Interview
The interviewer reached out to me via e-mail, they found me on LinkedIn. The interview was via Zoom, with voice and video. They were polite and friendly. They were ready to suggest an art test for me, but I already was employed, and my salary expectations were higher than the range that she offered, so we decided to say goodbye for now, but keep in touch in future.

Interview
The process took less than a week. I had a short screening call with a recruiter who worked for a different office, not the one I would've worked with if hired. Approximately 15 minutes after the first round, I was invited to a second round. The second round was more like a pleasant motivation/personality talk with a future team lead. It was going well until I got rejected 2 days later in an automated email about my application. It was weird after 2 rounds, so I sought an explanation. All I received was a canned answer with no particular comments on what exactly made them think I was too junior for the role with 4 years of relevant experience and 9/10 checks from the requirements list. They sent me this particular sentence: "After reviewing your candidacy, the hiring team recognizes your positive energy and determination to enter the gaming industry. However, based on your current experience, it is our assessment that your skills align more closely with a junior role, which unfortunately doesn't align with the specific requirements of the Project Manager position." No hard or soft skills got evaluated during the second round interview, and they already knew I didn't have industry experience, they still shut me down with crap reasoning. I explained my point of view to them about the rejection being unreasonable with respectful but very valid reasoning, and they ghosted me. A few days after the interview, they reuploaded the job to LinkedIn.

Nice and friendly screen interview. Recruiter kindly answered all my questions about position, team and company benefits. Then she asked me about my current workplace and future plans. It all felt quick and professional.
