Anonymous Interview Candidate in Bangalore Rural
I interviewed at Zynga (Bangalore Rural)
All interview rounds were unrelated to the job role. Is this how they make games? By asking random questions in interviews and having unexperienced folks interview the candidates? Disgusting. I would never recommend anyone to even bother applying to Zynga, let alone work as an employee!
- Basic C++ concepts, code review lol

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Vancouver, BC
I applied online. I interviewed at Zynga (Vancouver, BC)
A bunch of system design, leetcode and behvaiour based questions. The people interviewing were overall very nice and made me feel comfortable during the interview. However the recruiter was horrible, never heard back from her. Tried reaching out but did not respond to emails/phone calls.
- System design for a web crawler.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Seattle, WA
I applied online. I interviewed at Zynga (Seattle, WA)
Met with Recruiter, very nice, set things up for me and gave me an overview of the team and where they are at the moment. I was put in contact with the hiring manager after this however i ended up meeting with a VP not the manager. Interview went well. Recruiter then scheduled another meeting with the hiring manager. Interview went well he gave me his company address and said to email him if i have anymore question i should be hearing back from them soon. never heard back. i pinged recruiting a week after the interview. nothing - very disappointing.
- Questions were project mgmt. related - situational. in the end it was really more of a conversation which i think is better in the long run.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in San Francisco, CA
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Zynga (San Francisco, CA)
Interview via Zoom. The manager (interviewer) asked 2 school questions. Then he concluded the technical capabilities were not at the level he needs. He judge you right away without looking at your resume experience.
- What is polymorphism? What is an interface?

Anonymous Interview Candidate in San Francisco, CA
I applied online. I interviewed at Zynga (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2023
Interviewed for the SRE 1 role. Cool initial screening interview with recruiter. 2nd round interview the guy asked me about my experience and skills, etc. No communication for weeks after this, I had to email them and ask if the job was still open and they responded the next day. The third interview was a technical panel interview where 3 of the 4 scheduled interviewers showed up, asked me basic technical interview questions then cut the interview short by 15 minutes. Then they asked me a single question for the CoderPad interview and two days later said they were going in a different direction.
- Can you explain your history with Change Management?

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Vellore
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Zynga (Vellore) in Jul 2023
There were 10 aptitude questions and we were given ten minutes for that, followed by 3 coding questions in 40 minutes. Coding questions were DP based and the time was a little less. Even for the aptitude test, the questions were doable but time was not enough.
- Increasing subsequence problem which is also there in leetcode

Anonymous Employee in Los Angeles, CA
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Zynga (Los Angeles, CA)
Smooth process and exceptional people involved. Absolutely loved chatting with everyone from the HR rep to the hiring manager to the rest of the team. My HR rep was responsive and helpful any time I reached out with questions. I really appreciated how conversational each individual was. It was clear to me that while skillset and experience were important, the “vibe check” was just as important. Extra detail: My interview involved building a pitch deck and presenting it to a panel.
- Lots of discussion around communication styles, challenges, and expectations for the role. Touched on my experience and why I applied. During my presentation, I was asked about the strategy behind my pitch deck.
