I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Zynga (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2011
Interview
I had an inside connection who fast tracked me to a casual interview. I didn't have insight into whether or nor the position was contract or permanent, but wanted to find out more about the role they were offering so went with it. I received an offer within the week as a contractor and they completely low balled my salary. The "interview" was also weak, nothing truly indicating that they were taking into consideration my 6+ years in the business.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most difficult thing was understanding the salary I was offered. The recruiter (after looking up her credentials on Linkedin) has little to no experience in the recruiting industry and gave me no insight that it would take up to a year for conversion as a temp. WARNING about that - make sure you are asking for your maximum salary because they WILL low ball you and they WILL not reveal the length of time you are stuck as a contractor. Their temp services do include an option to sign up for benefits through the temp agency, but its still expensive. If you want to be working there, as a full time employee, but denied health, stock and all the other FTE perks outside of free meals - make sure you are accurately lobbying for your salary you need. Its really unfair the way they are not transparent about it all. Walk away or negotiate, its not worth being at a job where you are worrying about money instead of worrying about the work you are doing.
recruiter\hiring manager reached out to me for an interview for this role.
when it's the time for the interview, no one showed up, emailed twice, but no answer at all.
I applied online. I interviewed at Zynga in Aug 2020
Interview
I applied online through Zynga's website to work at one of their studios NaturalMotion. A couple days later a recruiter reached out to me and asked to set up a time and date for an interview. On the day that the interview was supposed to happen, the recruiter nor anyone else from the company showed up to the interview and didn't give me any explanation as to why. I was sent the rejection letter 2 weeks later.

Question 1
Zynga failed to show up to the interview in the allotted time, there was no interview.
I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Zynga in Feb 2019
Interview
The interview process was ok but the so-called lead recruiter was rude. Never replied the interview result back to the candidate. One of those gave bad rep to the recruiter world.
