      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at PlayStation (London, England)

      Interview

      Two rounds, phone interview and then techincal screening with a member of the team. The initial phone screen felt impersonal and I don't feel like the person on the phone knew much about the role, however the technical screening was enjoyable and the interviewer was knowledgable and personable.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Based on the project I was behind hired for, what would be the first steps that I would take when I joined the team

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PlayStation (Dublin, Dublin) in Sep 2025

      Interview

      4.5 Stage Process for ML Dev Ops role. Every stage included initial CV overview questions. Overall took almost a month from screening call to offer. Initial "stage" was a call with their recruiter - asked about my previous experience, described the role in more detail, levelled expectations, asked about salary and general friendly banter. 1st: Senior Hiring Manager; Focused on my history related to application deployment, deploying ML models to production, CI/CD experience. Asked in detail about previous CICD setups, how we handled artefacts, where models were stored. Leetcode medium for grouping anagrams 2nd: A week later, System Design question - initially misunderstood the directive but was asked to design a complete CICD system, i.e. if Jenkins or similar didn't yet exist 3rd: Back to back with 2nd, live coding question. Not leetcode, IMO good way of measuring coding ability with real world questions 4th: Week later again, behavioural/culture interview with senior TPM. Asked for what would i do re: managing conflicts between people, vague specs from clients, how i work in a team, etc. Received the unofficial offer about 4 days later, then offer letter 3 days after that.

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      1st round; Leetcode 49 - group anagrams.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      2nd round; Design a CICD system
      1 Answer

      Question 3

      3rd round; Live coding question related to database permissions. Finish two dataclasses that represent permission groups and groups, then complete two methods in a service class that loads the permission groups from the groups, and provides method for checking permission for a single user, operation and database combination. Edge case at the end included handling recursively held groups, i.e. group a has a sub permission for group b.
      Answer question

      Question 4

      4th round; Behavioural: Asked about managing conflicts, how to handle a vague spec from a client, how do you work in a team, what you do to mentor, describe yourself, how you’d work with a team lead, what would you do when an issue arises that might impact the timeline
