The process took 3 months. I interviewed at PlayStation (London, England)
Interview
Initial call with the recruiter where he said they wanted to move fast, but I didn't hear back from him for 2 weeks. The next stage was a chat with a senior team member followed by a technical interview 4 weeks (!!!) later. It took another 2 weeks to receive feedback. I have never been involved in such a slow interview process and it doesn't speak for the company.
Typically, an interviewer asks around 6–12 core technical questions, plus 3–5 behavioral questions for this role. In system-heavy roles like this, expect deep follow-ups, so total discussion often expands to 15–20 question threads rather than standalone questions.
Gauntlet of 6+ interviews. Multiple tech screenings and system designs. Poorly coordinated. Recruiter uninterested and unresponsive in general, didn't follow up on my questions and got ghosted at the end. One of the interviewers had poor communication skills and it was the most painful interview I had ever had in my career.
The interviewing process is straightforward. first resume screen, then phone screen, then one tech interview with manager, Then there's the final round panel interview with behavior questions. . . . . .
