      UX Researcher Interview

      10 Aug 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at PlayStation (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2018

      Interview

      I applied online. Heard back from HR in 2 weeks. Got a phone interview scheduled a month later, because the hiring manager was on vacation. 1 week later was contacted about an in-person later. In person interview was then scheduled. There were 5 rounds with (Sr UX Researchers, Head of UX Design and Hiring Manager). The fifth round was an additional phone interview. The process was smooth, except I did like one thing. One interviewer had given me a scenario based question, and when I did not give them the answer they wanted, they said, "That was easy. I'm surprised you didn't get that". Granted even if the question is easy to their standards, saying this makes candidate even more nervous, uneasy, and self-conscious. Interviews are already nerve-racking enough, so please try not to do this for future candidates. A little surprised that UX Researchers did not know this since they interview people for their jobs and are trained to not intimidate their interviewees. The same interviewer asked only this one question and decided to use the majority of this round to discuss their individual career path, kids' career path, and a mutual connection that we had. I had wished they had taken more time to discuss me and my qualifications and interest in the role. Everyone has a different style of interviewing but felt a little unprofessional. I feel like I didn't get enough of a chance to talk much about myself and my qualifications in this particular round. The other 3 interviewers were easy-going and warm. They did not ask me to do a portfolio presentation, which I found to be unusual. Accommodations and travel assistance were provided and exceeded my expectations.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at PlayStation

      Interview

      I was ghosted after several interviews and tens of hours of my life spent in interviews and take home tasks. I had to write a full presentation on usability issues for one game, presented it to the hiring manager and a senior person, and never heard back. This was after a first take home task that was also quite complex and long to fill in. The whole process also took almost 2 months from start to finish, only to be ghosted Zero respect for the candidates' time
