First off, I am a huge fan of Blizzard franchises and I really wanted to work for them. But honestly, I am quite disappointed after the interview process (not because I didn't get an offer). It was the worst interview experience I have had so far. Blizzard's interview process made me feel very unwelcome compared to other big companies that I applied to.

It took almost a month between each stage in the interview process. The recruiter's communication was terrible. They acted as if they didn't value your talent.

I almost decided not to go for the on-site interview just because of the lousy recruiter, but in the end, I still went there just because I wanted to visit Blizzard's headquarters.

The onsite interview questions were reasonable, not easy, not hard. You should be able to do them if you have been practicing the questions in these famous interview prep books.

Almost a month later, I received an automatic rejection email, sent by a Blizzard mail bot. Maybe my required salary was too high for an Associate position, maybe they found someone else better, maybe both. I will never know.

But the worst thing is that the recruiter didn't even have the courtesy to write me a proper rejection email. It was just an email sent by Blizzard's mail bot with even incorrect content – it said that I was rejected after the phone interview stage(?), which made me wonder if that email was some kind of mistake, but I don't even care to find out anymore.

I still wrote the recruiter a proper "thank you" email just to be respectful, but he didn't even bother replying to that one either.

So overall, a super disappointing interview process, very bad recruiters, and lousy salary. Blizzard has some great minds that have been creating super awesome games, and getting a job there is definitely a wonderful thing, but they should put more attention to the quality of their recruiters, or else more people will be driven away from them like me, especially when they only pay below-average salary.

Normal questions that you often see in interview prep books. Not easy, not hard.
