I applied online. I interviewed at PlayStation (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2017
Interview
Step 1 - HR reached out and was pretty open about the compensation and benefits.
Step 2 - sourcing coordinator sets up a 30min call with the Hiring Manager
Step 3- Interview with Hiring Manager
Step 4 - After feedback from the HM, sourcing coordinator sets up a call with the Data Gov Lead.
*** 1 month later and still no update on the application/process even after multiple follow-up emails. It's so frustrating to see that the company no more values the time that one has put in towards the interview. Such patterns must change and the interviewee must definitely be informed about the status !!
