November 18, 2014 - Contacted by a recruiter. Soon after, she sent me two coding tests, which I completed over the weekend. A week later, I was invited for a phone interview.

December 8, 2014 - Initial phone screen

December 22, 2014 - Second phone screen

Then came the Christmas and New Year holidays, so I hadn't heard back from them for two weeks. The good thing was, my recruiter quickly replied as soon as I sent a follow-up. She said that I performed well in my phone screens. Then she passed me to another recruiter and scheduled the onsite interview.

January 21, 2015 - Onsite interview with four interviewers. The first two were software engineers, the third was a Senior SDE, and the last was a manager (he did my second phone screen). From other reviews, I guess if you didn't do well in your first two interviews, you would not see the manager. Overall, I enjoyed the interview process. People were generally pretty nice, and the view was great from the windows.

Before I left their office, my recruiter came in and told me that I would hear back in a week ("early next week," she said). However, I did not receive anything by January 28. Two days later, on January 30, I received an email saying that the position was filled and that they would contact me should their needs change. I guess I did convince them that I qualified in the interviews, but they had already handed out too many offers to people who interviewed before I did, so I was interviewing for a "substitute position." I understand that's how hiring works, but I'm still disappointed. I love Seattle, I really want that position, and I cannot stop thinking what would happen if they had processed my phone interviews faster.

Lots of game design questions.

They seem easy at the beginning, but there are a lot of interesting follow-ups.
