Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
Started off with a brief phone interview in which the interviewer just asked a bit about me and my previous job experience. The next step was a Preliminary Written Test, which I'm not sure I failed or not because while I was told that "I may not be the appropriate candidate for this position", I got a call back a few weeks later for another brief phone interview.
Anyway following that was a written test, followed by another written test, and then finally a last one. After all that, I was once again given the old HR rejection template and told "I may not be the appropriate candidate for this position".

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Guangzhou (China) (took a day)
I sent email to apply for the job and was given a phone interview by HR the next day. We just talked the projects I envolved in. And I was called to attend the group interview at Tencent's Guangzhou Development Center. There were 7 interviewees in the group interview. We were asked to decide which person we are going to take with if we are going on an exploration. I acted as a team leader, but I didn't talk much. Maybe that was why I was rejected.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took a day)
There was a phone interview at first, just some basic question to make sure everything in my resume was correct, then the questions move to why Tencent? And why are you chosing Shenzhen to find job opportunities. After that I got a insight interview the next day. The first step was writing exam about Korean language skills, next step was interview with 2 Korean employees who may working in the same position, they asked me some personal question like do you want to travel and how do you handle the archohol. The last step was with the head of the HR, he asked me about experience in game industry and some relevant questions, the whole process toke 5 hours. 2 days later I got the job.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took a day)
I spoke with a recruiter for this position on the phone. The interview probably took 40 minutes, but she was basically asking me questions from a list of questions she had from the hiring manager and taking notes. This means there were not really any very deep questions because there were never any follow-up questions. She said she would pass on her notes from the interview to the hiring manager, who takes his time in hiring for positions, so there was no real timeline. I asked how I could follow up, and she said she would email me her email address, but I never received an email from her. I was not impressed by the process and thought it very superficial (and a waste of time).
