The level of passion and skill that the majority of the people at Blizzard share makes coming to work a pleasure.
Every team I ever interfaced with, it was apparent in most cases that we were on the same page, even though we were on different teams.
The collaborative spirit that is distilled from the top down around org goals, which then get extended to division goals, helps ensure that the right job gets done.
At least in the past, depending on the division one was in, the fact that you worked for Blizzard was used as a point in compensation. This helped skew compensation packages on the low side. Dev teams were/are mostly immune to this, but some of the more general purpose roles were not. This may have improved in the last 3-4 years to retain talent.
Keep doing all the little things that make people thrilled and honored to work there.
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
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
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.
