I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zynga (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2012
Interview
First there was a phone interview with questions regarding concepts and a brain teaser. In person interview consisted of 5 people, 3 of them pure algorithm questions. Reversing the order of words in a string, transforming an integer to words, finding the sum of the numbers in the array excluding the number of the current index. Last 2 interviews include a design and behavioral interview and an interview with an upper developer regarding projects and impressions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The second to last interviewer with the system design was strange and seemed to be forcing a certain design pattern, and seemingly misunderstanding on purpose. It almost felt like even this system design question was part of the behavioral test.
I completed the hiring questions panel with a current employee and someone from HR and then did a timed coding assesment that lasted an hour and was mostly data structures and algorithms.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Zynga (Bengaluru) in Sept 2024
Interview
The interview was difficult and consisted of mixed questions. It had 2 tech rounds and 1 difficult managerial round as well. It took interviews in an online mode on zoom.

The interview in its 1st round had dsa questions and also had cs core ques. In later round it had design level questions as well.
It was ok. It is like usual interviews. Manager was ok but you have to prepare what you asked before interview. I was good intention at all. I suggest to all my friends
