Turning into Office Space
Turning into Office Space
Great co-workers, fun company-sponsored events. After-hours groups like board and tabletop game groups are available to anyone who shows up.
Management is becoming increasingly detached and bloated due to growth. Without stretching too much, I could honestly say I had seven bosses. I was also regularly hit with unnecessary overtime.
Specifically for upper-middle managers, make yourself available and known to the "resources" so that they feel comfortable talking to you, in lieu of their direct supervisor.

Blizzard Interview Experiences
Engineering Tools Intern
This is a description for the initial screening. The recruiter was friendly and enthusiastic. I was also told that working for Blizzard is a fun and rewarding experience and that it is an inclusive environment.
Database Administrator (DBA)
First step: talk to the recruiter and in-house recruiter. Second step: talk to the hiring manager. Then, sign a very restrictive NDA before the interview. I didn't make it past that because it was so restrictive.
Software Engineer
There was first an interview with the recruiter, then one with the manager. Then, I had to pass a HackerRank test, followed by a technical interview with the team in C++. Finally, there was an interview with the PM and director. Gaming experience no
