I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at PlayStation
Interview
The first recruiter was friendly and professional. The second recruiter was not. Instead of being proactive, I had to continue to ask her normal questions (who am I meeting with, what is their role, anything I should prepare for ahead of time). Other tech recruiters provide this standard information. I had met with 3 PM’s and the hiring manager and I never heard back…ghosted. More than a month later, I have yet to hear back.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. People are not reporting (under-reporting) - walk me through your thought process on why we think this may be happening? 2. Tell me about a recent feature you worked on and launched. 3. Tell me about a time when you received pushback from a stakeholder, how did you handle it? (Asked multiple times) 4. Tell me about how you prepare a roadmap? 5. How do you balance top down and bottom up?
The interviews were scheduled as expected, however I must agree with others - after two or Three rounds of interviews you will be ghosted. Dumped with no follow up from the recruiters. So keep your options open if you get a call for A Position at this company. Pretty bad behaviour after multiple rounds of interviews.

I interviewed at PlayStation (San Mateo, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
Interviewing at Sony Playstation was the most horrible interview experience I've ever had.
It started with a recruiter getting in touch that he wanted to chat about the opening giving me two time options: one in two hours, the other the next day.
We agreed on the next day when I ended up waiting for him for 30 mins before sending a mail checking whether the interview was happening or not. 15 mins later he replied he can't reach my phone (it was on, right next to me and I did give him a correct number). We agreed to speak in two days' time instead.
Two days later, he didn't show up (again) and didn't even respond to my mail if I should still wait or not. I sent another mail a couple of days later checking if the job is filled or if I should still count with a chat, which has been ignored.
I consider this kind of behavior absolutely unacceptable! With so much competition in the Bay Area, I wonder how Sony plans to attract talent when recruiters treat candidates this way...
