I applied online. I interviewed at Zynga (Bengaluru) in Oct 2020
Interview
The interview consists of 4rounds:
A) Case Study Submission
B) 3 rounds of discussion with Lead PMs and Director PMs
They call each round as elimination round. Overall each & every round was properly designed and I found interviewers friendly & knowledgeable.
But the overall mindset of the recruitment team seems to be out of place. After spending significant efforts and attending all three interviews, I was told that I am not a right fit for the role.
When I asked for detailed feedback HR mentioned - "We are having too much work and can't promise any feedback other than this". I personally found it very rude and demeaning

1. Case Study around improving the monetization of any of their games.
2. In round 1 a case study was given, I was asked to act as onboarding PM and was given a task to find reasons for a drop in a metric
3. Round 2 was more about breaking a game and increasing the monetization of one of their feature.
4. Round 3 was again a case study with a task to design a subscription program for one of their games.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Zynga (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2018
Interview
It was the most pleasant interview I've ever had. I had a phone interview with the Recruiter, then the hiring manager. They brought me in for an in-person interview, where I met with the hiring manager and the rest of the team.
As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a cute puppy (can't beat that). They gave me a goodie back, and really welcomed me as if I already got the job.
The interviews were pretty casual and conversational, which made me comfortable.
