Lengthy, several video interviews but overall simple. They took quite a while to get back and it seemed like there was always one more interview. Everything was over skype/video minus the first call.

It was virtual interview with one of corp dev team member. 45 min and mix of behavioral and technical question. Interviewer was so nice and kind that I can do it in very comfortable atmosphere.
Took about 3 months very slow and few emails. Wanted you to know the brand very well such as year started, founder, etc. also asked about serval games that were all on the platform
I applied online. I interviewed at PlayStation (San Mateo, CA) in Jan 2023
Interview
Interviewed for Growth Strategy intern role.
Overall interview process was great. It was one interview in total, which was comprised of 1-on-1 with your hiring manager followed by 1-on-many for a case interview (related to Playstation's business), lastly followed by 1-on-1 with someone else from the team (but an alumni from my school, which was thoughtful!) Interviewers provided in-depth information on the role, Playstation's business and vision, and it almost felt like a panelist session at some point. Career Talent team was responsive, overall communication process was smooth and efficient.
