I interviewed at PlayStation (California, MD)

Interview

It was an okay experience, I applied, filled in the necessary info, and got rejected. It's quite high in expectations. They noted that there is room for improvement in showcasing a wider range of environments and styles.

Interview

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 applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at PlayStation

Interview

1. Call with Recruiter to answer basic questions 2. Meeting with hiring manager to go over what we would be working on and some history 3. Technical interview with 2 senior SDETs. 4. Meeting with boss of the hiring manager. I would say that everything up until the end went well, but the preparation for the final interview was not clear. While I was told it would not be very technical, it was about 80% technical, 20% culture.

Extremely long interview process. 3 months from start to finish with little to no response from HR. Was frustrating to get it done with and ultimately a waste of time.

Interview

Phone screen then technical interview. Interview was over codepen or similar code sharing site. Intro > challenge > more info and chatting. Overall was pleasant process but I've interviewed many people too and I design a more real world interview that let's the candidate show their ability to test the code they write.

Interview Questions
  • My problem was, the question was just a coding challenge. If you happened to practice that one, what would that have shown about your ability as an engineer? The second question was based on the first one. I've worked as a senior sdet for almost 10 years and do some pretty technical day-to-day work including fixing bugs in production etc I am no junior, but because I was tripped up by a tricky coding problem I got no offer.

Pretty straight forward interview. Went through the recruiter first, then second round was with the team I’d be working with most. Afterwards my manager and his boss. Recruiter kept me informed the entire time of the status of my application, overall great experience!

The interview process was straightforward. It consisted of just one session. Initially, they posed two medium Leetcode challenges. The session began with a 20-minute segment dedicated to behavioral inquiries. Following that, the remaining 50 minutes focused on technical topics and delving into the Leetcode problems in detail.

Informative and straight to the point. The recruiter and hiring manager were nice, and they were passionate about their work. It was great to learn about the company culture and values, and it seemed like a role with lots of opportunities to grow.

Very simple, no issues. Very nice. East questions but the role did not seem interesting enough. I would reapply soon I think. I should but I don’t want to. But in the future I may decide that it’s beneficial but we will see.

Do you experience that how long the hiring process would take at Thermo Fisher? I got my second interview with hiring manager at the beginning of November but I haven’t heard nothing from them. When I’ve emailed them to check in they just said that the process would be slow, no time frame. I would be able to get an offer soon from other company but work as contractor. Should I wait for Thermo Fisher?

Booz Allen Hamilton Recently applied and I've been referred for an interview! Any tips on interviewing with Booz Allen? And if I am being asked to complete clearance and background upfront, is this a good indicator for being hired?

Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
