I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PlayStation in Dec 2018
Interview
I got an email for the technical round and had given the dates accordingly. The interview was around 30 to 45 minutes long. The Interviewer had emailed with the shared document link and then called. The Interviewer did not waste time on introduction he started asking questions within the first minute itself. Overall, if you are a new grad, as i am, it will be an easy interview just be strong in your basics and read the requirements throughly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
String Manipulation: Print a sentence in reverse (with words separated by spaces and the whole sentence in reverse)
Typically, an interviewer asks around 6–12 core technical questions, plus 3–5 behavioral questions for this role. In system-heavy roles like this, expect deep follow-ups, so total discussion often expands to 15–20 question threads rather than standalone questions.
Gauntlet of 6+ interviews. Multiple tech screenings and system designs. Poorly coordinated. Recruiter uninterested and unresponsive in general, didn't follow up on my questions and got ghosted at the end. One of the interviewers had poor communication skills and it was the most painful interview I had ever had in my career.
The interviewing process is straightforward. first resume screen, then phone screen, then one tech interview with manager, Then there's the final round panel interview with behavior questions. . . . . .
