      Software Engineer Interview

      11 Aug 2012
      Anonymous employee
      Irvine, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Blizzard Entertainment (Irvine, CA)

      Interview

      Applied via the website and was contacted about two weeks later for a phone interview. Went through that with only one interviewer. Overall the phone interview was probably 50% general questions about me and my interest in the position, 25% technical, and 25% me asking questions of the interviewer. At the end of the interview, I was told I would be sent a programming test. I received that the next day and began working on it. It took me about a week to do, then sent that in. They got back to me about two weeks later for an in-person interview. Initially met with HR and they had me do a sit-down test. Obviously, I can't say what the questions were, but overall they were good, broad questions that should generally be easy to answer (except a couple that might require some thinking). Basically, as long as you "got" everything you learned at university you should be more than fine. Be sure to study everything that appears in the job description. After that, HR took me for a tour around the campus. The offices were very relaxed and well-decorated and it was a lot of fun. Then I went to a lunch interview with a couple employees, then met with two others for an interview in the offices, then one more (again, supposed to be two) and finally hung out with one last person and got to ask a lot of questions about working at Blizzard. I heard back the next week that I would be receiving an offer.

      Question 1

      I won't give any specific examples. Follow my advice and you should be fine.
