Process
After the initial phone interview, I was given an example coding challenge. That's as far as I got in the process, but I was told that, if successful, an on-site interview would have followed.
Questions
Phone: What's the difference between a class and an interface?
Challenge: Write a Java web server that can handle simple servlet requests using only the core Java I/O libraries.

Pros: I have been at Blizzard for just under 3 months. The environment is awesome. My direct manager has spent an enormous amount of time familiarizing me with the culture and setting my expectations. Perks are great, especially if you are creative or like games. Overall, after 3 months, I love it. The weather in Southern California is also great.
Cons: If I had to come up with something, it would be that the pay versus cost of living (especially in Irvine) could use some work.
Also, it would be beneficial to review the vacation policy.
It's pretty much set in stone, and that is a downer for an experienced candidate.
