What is the hiring process at Activision Blizzard?

To begin, you will need to complete an application, which can be found on Activision Blizzard's career website. The entire application process takes around five to ten minutes and includes some eligibility and demographics questions. They will also ask you to upload your resume and cover letter.

If the recruitment team finds your resume and cover letter impressive, you can expect a short call as part of the initial phone screening. The recruiter will see if you're a good candidate for the company by asking you some behavioral questions and taking you through brief work-related simulations.

If you pass the initial screening stage, you will be invited for an in-person interview at Activision Blizzard's campus. Plan for an all-day interview session with your potential team, department leads, and HR. Navigating an all-day gauntlet of interview sessions might seem daunting; however, Activision Blizzard does strive to make their interviews as casual and relaxed as possible.

Common Activision Blizzard interview questions include:

• Describe something complex using only words.

• What is your favorite video game and why?

• Why do you want to work at Activision Blizzard?

• Are you able to work a 14-hour shift?

Some interview questions are job-specific. Here are some examples of common Activision Blizzard interview questions for the specific role of QA tester:

• Have you been disappointed by a game before?

• Imagine there is a game-specific feature being added. How would you go about testing this feature for bugs?

• Have you found any bugs in a recent game you played?

• How would you go about creating a bug report for the issue you found?

• What is the software test lifecycle, and how does it affect testing?
