The hiring process at Playson takes an average of 7 days when considering 2 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Platform Engineer had the quickest hiring process (on average 7 days), whereas Platform Engineer roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 7 days).
The HR asked me technical questions and they didn't even care about the answers. They just wanted to do the interview and leave, they recorded the interview and I don't know what they did with it.
My experience with the recruiter started on a positive note. The role was presented as attractive and the conversation felt engaging. As the call progressed, the approach shifted into (overly) heavy rapport-building followed by pressure around call recording (not for transcribing as one might expect) and persistent probing for personal or sensitive details I wouldn't normally share at that stage.
What bothered me was this pattern: unusually friendly framing of his questions paired with repeated boundary-testing. It felt like "trust" was being used as a tool (against me of course).
I'm sharing this so other candidates go in prepared: confirm whether recording is optional, maybe keep answers high-level early on, and end the call if the process stops feeling professional. It is probably not worth it.
In my 8 years in gaming this was the most unprofessional and frustrating experience.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Playson (Kyiv, Kyiv) in Oct 2025
Interview
HR was nice and supportive, had complex but intresting technical task on interview related to JS classes, wasn't impressed with behavioural interview, it was not the best experience, a lot questions about experience with conflicts.
