I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Wargaming (São Petersburgo, ) in Aug 2017
Interview
I had applied for a JavaScript position just a month before the Front End Developer vacancy was published and Wargaming HR had declined my application with no comments.
A month later another HR has contacted me and offer to apply for the recently opened Front End Developer position.
First I was asked to implement a testing task based on Vue.js stack that was pretty easy (2 days of work). After it was reviewed by engineers (I did not recieve any specific feedback on my code) I was invited for an interview in Wargaming office. The interview was quite short and easy since a project leader only asked me how browser works.
Since the interview several weeks passed and the vacancy was closed but I recieved not a single message from Wargaming :).
As for a summary:
1. No response from HR deparment
2. No feedback from engineers
3. During the interview lead engineer has left the room and told me that he has 'more important meeting' . Such a petty.

I applied online. I interviewed at Wargaming (Sydney) in Jun 2013
Interview
Long and extensive interview process. Covered a wide variety of aspects such as systems administration, continuous integration, and programming and personal interests. Interviewers seemed quite focused on understanding how I thought, rather than what I knew. Spoke to a large variety of people (direct manager, team manage, studio lead, HR) and I felt that they were poking for the right things.
Thanks for sharing with us your perspective on our interview process. It is valuable for us. We believe that interviews are handled by future teammates, stakeholders help both parties to decide if they want to work with each other on a daily basis. We encourage both parties to be as truthful as possible with each other during the interview process which leads to making a right decision for both I trust.
