- If you're in North America, expect lots of early morning calls with folks across the pond. (If you're a morning person, move this bullet into the pro section.)
- Certain segments of the business occasionally have a hard time understanding issues based on region and is very EU centric, we're working on it!King 2018-07-24 13:55 PDT

I applied through a recruiter. The process took a week. I interviewed at King.
Interview
Casual phone screen followed by an on-site interview lasting ~2 hours. Interviewed with the senior community manager and the marketing director. Discussed the current and upcoming projects of the studio, the status of existing community outreach efforts, future plans and ideas, and structure of the current team. Overall, this was a relatively easy and casual interview, very nice and professional.
