Blizzard Games, Exec Drama
Blizzard Games, Exec Drama
You get to work for Blizzard. Tons of free games. Great environment. Impressive on a resume.
A lot of the executives do a whole lot of nothing but telling people what to do. The longer you've been there, the more you're paid for the less you do. New people are expected to work 60 or more hours a week. Morale is slipping; there's lots of teenage drama and backstabbing. It really feels like everyone communicates solely through post-it notes.
At least the post-it notes look cool.
Go back to the early days where "Developers" were actually developing and not holding closed-door, 8-hour meetings every day to discuss how to give yourselves raises.

Blizzard Interview Experiences
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
Software Engineer
The process for me went like this: 1. Recruiter Call 2. Hiring Manager Call 3. Take Home HackerRank 4. 3 Panel Interviews back to back (1 hour each with a 30 minute break) A. Interview reviewing the HackerRank questions B. Subject Matter
Software Engineer
Went through like eight interviews, just to be told they already went with someone else. The recruiter was amazing, but the actual interviews themselves didn't seem interested or care, even if you do and show your willingness to be taught.
