      Senior Software Engineer (Backend) Interview

      20 Jan 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at PlayStation

      Interview

      I've actually interviewed twice with Sony Interactive (Playstation). The first time was in 2013. It was all very professional and moved along at reasonable pace. They offered me a position and for better/worse I did not take it. Flash forward to December 2017, I interviewed again for a similar position, thinking I would take it this time if offered. Got a half hour phone screen by an engineer. I feel I did well and apparently he did to, because he told me to expect the next step -- a take home exam delivered by email. I never received it. I contacted Sony directly and via the 3rd party recruiter several times, with no resolution. No one seemed to know what was going on. I chalked it up to being the holiday period. Finally after following up in January, the recruiter relayed a message that I didn't do well enough. No details. Look, I can handle rejection, but this just doesn't compute. The screener told me I did well. Why wouldn't you at least want me to take the take-home exam? Something went awry. So I'm rating this a neutral - the average of my two experiences.
