      Associate Software Engineer - Risk Systems Interview

      14 Jun 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Irvine, CA
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Blizzard Entertainment (Irvine, CA) in Jun 2015

      Interview

      Contacted by a recruiter a couple weeks after applying, and set up a phone interview with an engineer. He asked me some basic questions about my resume, and we verbally went over a quick coding exercise. I was contacted a couple days later to do a Skype interview with some engineers. We set this up for about a week later. This interview was much harder than the first one. They sent over a pdf with three coding problems on them, and I went over the problems and solved them with the engineers by sharing a google doc. A couple days later I was told that they would like to bring me in for an on site interview. They flew me out all the way from the east coast and I spent the day interviewing/seeing the campus. The first interview was pretty challenging, but not as bad as the Skype one. It didn't involve writing any actual code, and was more about going over problems verbally. The second interview was just a lunch interview, and actually didn't really feel like an interview at all. The last one was with the team leader, who was the first person I spoke to. He asked me to do one relatively easy coding problem on a whiteboard, and then told me they would be making me an offer at the end. The overall experience was great. Their headquarters is amazing and it killed me a bit to decline the offer, but after weighing all of my options I think it was the right choice. I'm going to apply there again in the future when I feel more ready to make a career move like this one.
