I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zynga (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Since I had a friend inside, they fast-tracked my application and I got a brief skype interview with a recruiter. A week after I got a on-site interview (had to wait since I was out of the country). I interviewed with a lot of the leads, but unfortunately a couple couldn't make it, so I had to come in again for a 2nd round of interviews. A week after I received an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were a bit of technical questions, including bit manipulation, string manipulation, and class design. The best resource IMHO is Programming Interviews Exposed.
I completed the hiring questions panel with a current employee and someone from HR and then did a timed coding assesment that lasted an hour and was mostly data structures and algorithms.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Zynga (Bengaluru) in Sept 2024
Interview
The interview was difficult and consisted of mixed questions. It had 2 tech rounds and 1 difficult managerial round as well. It took interviews in an online mode on zoom.

The interview in its 1st round had dsa questions and also had cs core ques. In later round it had design level questions as well.
It was ok. It is like usual interviews. Manager was ok but you have to prepare what you asked before interview. I was good intention at all. I suggest to all my friends
