Zynga interview questions

Was referred into a position at Zynga, the recruiter reached out immediately and we spoke the next day. Next step was an onsite in the SFHQ where I met with the rest of the team. Very seamless and pleasant experience! I truly felt welcomed and a sense of inclusion.

A day long process, if you clear subsequent rounds. Total had 3 technical rounds and a wait of 1/2 - 2 hours between each, excluding lunch times. ALL WERE PURELY FROM DATA STRUCTURES AND ALGORITHMS. First round was good, the gaming question asked was of a fairly good standard, the interviewer was precise and upto the point. Next rounds were not pleasant. Questions were not very difficult, but i was asked to write full code in any language, which was painful for hands, especially when you have written pages of code , at which point they change the conditions. The questions were'nt clear too. They should have asked the logic and at the max - psuedocode. Also the interviewer gives the problem and disappears, only to reappear after an hour and say his expected outcome was different. It was de-motivating to sit in the same room alone for hours expecting the next course of action, at which point your enthusiam dips and feel like leaving the place ASAP. After all this they said the HR round will be conducted after 3 days.
