Zynga interview questions

I was contacted by an internal Senior Talent recruiter after submitting my application. My interview process was unclear and tedious: 1st call with Talent, very appropriate, lasted 30 mins. 2nd call with the hiring manager, very appropriate, lasted 1h. Then I received an email from Talent letting me know I was being processed to the next phase and would need to talk to a group of people. I was asked for availability, which I provided. 3rd call was with Talent to give me more feedback on the process. 4th-8th calls with five different people who'd be my stakeholders or team members, mostly based on San Francisco timezone, so pretty late for me (based in UK). When I provided my availability, I genuinely thought it was going to be one or two group interviews, not five individual ones of 30 mins, asking me all the same. I thought I'd smash most apart from one with an extremely junior person who seemed to be on defense mode the whole interview. On some of the other interviews, I was asked for real cases and recommendations on how to go ahead with some initiatives, and I provided lots of ideas. I followed up on my interviews, thanked them all for their time and awaited news from Talent. A week of silence later, I approached them again just to be avoided. A few days later I had a missed call from Talent. I tried to return several times, unsuccessfully. Finally, I got a short email stating that "the team didn't feel I had the right experience for the role", which came as a big surprised. I tried to follow up to get feedback on what was that they felt I lacked experience on, or what to improve for next time, only to be ignored. I never heard more from anyone in the company. When you have such a long, tedious and unclear hiring process, the least you can do is give back some feedback and offer support to your candidates, so they end with a good impression and not feeling used and discarded.

Applied and received an email to book an interview with the recruiter/hiring manager soon after. The hiring manager seemed disinterested in my experience, went on to tell me I'm not senior enough for the job. They then asked what my interests outside of work are as if this is any indication of whether I'm capable of doing the job. 2+ weeks of ghosting later, received an email saying they moved forward with a candidate that was already in final stages.
