Zynga interview questions

I had an interview where, instead of being impressed by my coding profile, the interviewer began questioning how I manage to solve daily problems and find time for coding as a working professional. This felt off-topic for the interview. Then, he gave me two coding problems but didn’t explain them properly. When I asked clarifying questions, he changed the problems, which I quickly solved as they were quite simple. Afterward, he checked my coding profile and pointed out that I had already solved similar problems before, which left me puzzled. I had already shared my profile beforehand, so if this was an issue, the interviewer should have prepared different questions before the interview. Toward the end, I asked about the team, but I had a sense I’d be rejected, despite having solved the problems. I reached out to the recruiter for feedback multiple times, but she never responded, which has been frustrating. It feels like my time was wasted, and I’m left without any clear understanding of what went wrong.

It was very smooth. The HR team was so helpful, and the technical leader was extremely knowledgeable. The office was perfect. I am very happy to have been selected for the interview.
