Application

I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at RockYou in December 2013.

Interview

RockYou came to our office and met with our product team. They asked questions mostly to the product owners, and then a very short interview with the others involving what their part in the product was. Shortly after, the people that RockYou liked had a 1 on 1 meeting with their HR about their offer.

They asked me some fundamental knowledge of OO concepts and development techniques with an impressive brain teaser question. that is:
There are five horses and five lane, you can compare them with a race which is allowed to 5 horses at the time. But you cant make any mark and dont know the exact result of them. You need to find out the fastest three from them. What 's your strategy?

Interview

I was contacted directly from a full-time recruiter at RockYou. They contacted me via linked in, and scheduled a phone interview with the recruiter for the same or next day. That interview consisted of questions about my history and skills, as well as a lengthy conversation about our favorite video games :)

After that, a technical phone interview was scheduled with one of their software architects. They said it would take about an hour, but it ended up taking about 20 minutes. He asked me a few basic questions about my history, a simple OO design patterns question about the singleton pattern (and how its useful specifically in PHP), and asked me how I would design the software behind a Tetris game. At the conclusion of that interview, he stated that he wanted to schedule an in-person interview with me. I got an email the same day from HR setting up the in-person interview for a couple days later.

The in-person interview was mostly a pleasant experience. It was a scheduled to last 4 hours, each hour consisting of a different set of two people interviewing me. They were all very friendly. Most of the time, I felt like I was just conversing with them about software engineering and the like. What I really appreciated is that it wasn't just questions about myself. They understood that they had to sell themselves to me as well, so half the time was spent talking about their company. They even took me out to lunch and paid for it. I was also offered all the snacks and drinks I wanted.
The only complaint I have was the room they conducted the interviews in was quite warm.

The hiring process was alright. The person who interviewed me was stuttering a bit so I think she was more nervous than I was. After the phone interview, she asked me to do a design test.

It was so disorganized and had been sent mixed messages. They had a change in management and went from a pending offer to not being the right fit. The C level was very unprofessional.
