Associate Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I did two code tests and passed them. One was more LeetCode-type, and the other was more towards my specialization.

After that, I had a phone call interview, which went well. I was rejected soon after with an automated message.

Blizzard is notorious for hiring great, talented people and paying them very low, below industry standards. They said I had low experience, even for the lowest possible job available. Keep in mind I have a Master's degree in my specialization and a passion for working in my field.

Don't bother applying here. They pay you very low, they have a lot of crunch time, and they don't bother replying to candidates personally who are later in the interview stage. If you are a fan of games, keep in mind that gaming is a low-paying industry, with most of the money going to management and people higher up in the chain.
