J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 8 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Zynga en mars 2013
Entretien
Submitted my resume at a school career fair and got asked for an interview the next day by email.
Phone interview the next week - HR screening, asked about data structure, but I doubt the HR guy understood it.
Then onsite interview with 5 people + HR. The onsite interview was 3 technical and 2 managerial. Questions are not too hard. Asked about reverse a linked list, design a black jack game, 25 horses and find the fastest 3, sorting and searching. Anyway, I get a free trip plus they let us choose one tourist point to go.
Waited around 2 weeks for the no-offer call, but I think I made it to the last round because my friends they both have interviews on the same day as me, and they got rejected after 1 week.

Question 1
Brain teaser : 25 horses, constant speed for every race, find the fastest 3.

Entretien
Recruiter reached out to schedule 45 minute first round interview at a conference since they saw my resume in conference's resume database. They never responded (>1 month) with moving on to next round nor a rejection.
Coding question was on a laptop with paper notepad available. It was difficult to explain my code during the interview since it wasn't a shared coding environment, just one laptop. My interviewer was across from me, so they couldn't follow my code easily.

Entretien
Had a one technical phone screen, then went on-site to SF. Had 4 interviews, one of them with a director of engineering. Everyone there seemed very passionate about games and surprisingly all very pleasant and friendly. Onsite, 3 of the interviews were technical and 1 was behavioral.
Still deciding whether to accept the offer.

Question 1
Collision detection, prime factorization, OOP class design, basic O(n) hashmap algorithms

It seems in light of their recent struggles, Zynga may not receive the number of applications they once did. They've abandoned technical phone screens and now promote new grad engineer applicants directly to the onsite round after a recruiter screen.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Three rounds of technical interviews and two fit/behavioral interviews. Typical CTCI problems, the hardest of which were:
1. Turn a binary tree into a Linked List
2. Find the largest contiguous subsequence of an array of ints
3. Print all permutations of a string
In the fit interviews, they want to see a passion for gaming as well as large group project experience. Interviewers were mostly friendly. Play a few Zynga games and be ready to talk about why you like them.
