I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Zynga in Jan 2019
Interview
Interview initiated through LinkedIn recruiter and first step was HR email/conversation and then followed by Technical Phone Screen. Recruiter never sent me the feedback after technical phone screen even after repeatedly following up for days. Shows negligence from recruiting team or seems like they do not care.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Zynga in Feb 2018
Interview
1. The HR team was very inefficient due to which there was lot of idle time in b/w two interviews.
2. The interviewer himself was confused with his concepts.
3. The interview questions was easy in 2018 start, not sure about now.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Linked List, Tress, Dynamic Programming, Matrix. Almost everything was asked but after working I realized there was only if and for/while in the code. The interviewer himself was confused with his concepts.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Zynga (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
The onsite portion of the interview was one of the most chaotic/unprofessional I have ever witnessed. One day prior to the interview, Zynga asked to move up the onsite by 30 mins. Sure, no biggie. When I got there, the person I was supposed to "ask for" wasn't even there. One of their digital artists had to sub in as a "day of coordinator". I waited in the dining area well past my start time, because the interview room I was scheduled to be in was never actually booked. Once they found a different/open room, we begun. I was then transferred to another interview room, where I sat for at least 15 minutes before anyone showed up. Next, I had a video interview in that same room. Again, whoever was supposed to block off that room failed to do so, and as a result, two separate times during the interview someone walked in thinking they had reserved the room. Zynga was nice enough to order me lunch, which I then ate by myself in the interview room. Once again, I was left waiting for someone to arrive. For the last interview, I was again moved to a different room (3rd one of the day). After locking me down on numbers and essentially telling me I'd receive an offer after the chaotic day--no offer. Probably for the best.
