Typical 3 part interview. Recruiter, Art Director and HR to conclude. Thorough introduction of the company structure, and project development, with presentation deck which is easy to understand for anyone.
No communication whatsoever, constant follow ups and no replies. Code challenge completed well but no feedback after asking multiple times.
- 28/12: Found job position on LinkedIn. However after clicking the apply link, it took me to the job listing page on the Playstation jobs website and not the individual job. I search all the jobs, where the position was not listed.
- 28/12: Searching LinkedIn, I managed to find a couple of relevant contacts. I signed up the LinkedIn premium and messaged 2 people with the issue, to which I received no replies.
- 01/01: Looked for contact information on the Playstation jobs website. Found a Twitter handle and postal address.
- 01/01: Sent a tweet asking about the job
- 01/01: Sent a letter asking for more information and if it's available.
- 06/01: Got a reply on Twitter, stating the job was no longer available.
- 07/01: Got a response to my letter and then after recommending me to email someone else, found that the position was actually still available.
- Various emails send back and forth (replies taking days) with the person asking questions like "would you be interested in progressing to this stage?", well I sent a letter..?
- 15/01: No reply so messaged again.
- 18/01: Finally sent the code test.

- 10/02: I messaged to see where things were at, which thankfully nudged the correct people for some action.
- 12/02 Person got in touch explaining there were issues due to ongoing interviews and team members being unwell. Had a chat with another member the same day and said would get in touch after.
- 18/02: Did not get in touch with me, so yet again I follow up with an email.
- 19/02: Was told another meeting with a team member was taking place today and would be told after. Was told it was also his last day is Friday 21st...
- I complained again, and got sent a PSN code as a token, but the code didn't even work and never got a reply when I mentioned this.
