Associate Test Engineer, Quality Assurance Interview Experience - Irvine, California
Process
After applying online and being selected for an interview, I was first given a quick 30-minute phone screen. After passing that, I was given a take-home test that I had one week to complete. After finishing that and submitting it, I heard back within the week that I had passed and moved on to an in-person interview in Irvine, which I was flown out to.
In person, I had a written test, test review, lunch interview, and then a group interview, all over the course of one day. About a week after that interview, I was told that I had passed again and then did a Skype interview with a particular team that I would be joining if I accepted the offer.
I had an offer available, but ended up declining the offer for another position. Overall, a pretty good experience.

Blizzard Work Experiences
- 5.0A game company that does it rightSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeIrvine, California, United StatesApril 18, 2018Pros: From the moment I started here, I felt finally at home. I've had several jobs at major tech companies before now, but none of them ever felt like they were invested in me as a developer. Blizzard invested in me right away, offering more compensation than I asked for and treating me as a valuable team member from day one. Every day I work here is fun. I get to be a flat-out nerd and be surrounded by other flat-out nerds. I am surrounded by co-workers who value each other's input. As a member of the LGBT community, I was excited to find that I was not the only one in my immediate vicinity. My team is wildly diverse in every way, and it was the first time I was on a team that was majority women in tech.Cons: Getting hired can be difficult unless you know someone inside the company.
