I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Light & Wonder (Silverwater) in Jan 2025
Interview
After multiple interviews and positive responses, they left me hanging on for months and then decided to not fill in the position. It really felt so disappointing after all such positive feedback.
The process had three stages: an initial screening, a video interview with the lead engineer, and a multi-stage in-person interview. I failed the technical portion of the second round, they gave me a threading problem, which I wasn't expecting. The recruiter did mention OOP and threading as focus areas beforehand, but I doubted they would ask an actual threading programming question. I was expecting LeetCode style or OOP design questions.

Question 1
Write a program that uses 2 threads to print the values of a list, alternating between threads with each print statement
I interviewed at Light & Wonder (Las Vegas, NV) in Nov 2025
Interview
It was really the worst interview experience.
Hiring manager was rude. He suddenly muted himself for a call during the interview, I checked the screen and found out he was on a call. He tested me C++ coding, and said what I was doing was wrong, but I found out he didn't really know C++, he probably is a Java developer. They have a salary range on the JD, but the lower side is actually the higher side, recruiter told me it at the beginning, then why did you post the range?
