Anonymous Interview Candidate in Bangalore Rural

Declined Offer
Negative Experience
Easy Interview
Application

I interviewed at Zynga (Bangalore Rural)

Interview

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!

Interview Questions
  • Basic C++ concepts, code review lol

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.

Average Interview
Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Zynga (Seattle, WA)

Interview

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.

Interview Questions
  • 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.

I applied online. I interviewed at Zynga (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2023

Interview

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.

Average Interview
Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Zynga (Los Angeles, CA)

Interview

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.

Interview Questions
  • 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.

Customer Service Representative CSR

I had an interview this afternoon for a customer service position in a call center. The ad was very vague to begin with and at the end of it I felt like I really didn't know anything more about the job. When I asked about the starting pay, which was not published in the ad, they looked incredulous (they were doing on-the-spot hiring today) and then asked me "What's your range?" And only responded with "I think we could meet that." And still never gave me a straight answer. Is this a red flag?

Software Engineer

I did my initial interview with a “better established” startup and they said the interview process is 5 interviews. 3 technical then 1 interview with the CEO then another technical interview. Idk about you but that seems like a lot of interviews and they said they want to do it as fast as possible in a short time span. Is this a normal amount of interviews? Is this a red flag? For a full stack software position 4-5 years exp how much salary should be the norm in a hcol area?

Business Analyst

Is it unprofessional to attend a Zoom interview from within your car? I am currently employed and just landed an interview for tomorrow. It is a virtual interview over Zoom. Should I try to find somewhere besides my car for the interview? I don't know that I could but wanted to get yalls thoughts on this.

We have been watching the recent events unfold in Ukraine with great concern. After careful consideration, we have begun to suspend all installations, monetization and marketing support across all titles in Russia and Belarus at this time. We are making a donation of over $200,000 to three organizations that are providing relief and support for refugees – Nova Ukraine, Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund by Global Giving and UNHCR– and are matching donations for all employees to contribute additional funds. We join the many voices around the world calling for peace and we stand firmly with the people of Ukraine.
