I applied online. I interviewed at PlayStation (San Mateo, CA) in Jan 2023
Interview
Interviewed for Growth Strategy intern role.
Overall interview process was great. It was one interview in total, which was comprised of 1-on-1 with your hiring manager followed by 1-on-many for a case interview (related to Playstation's business), lastly followed by 1-on-1 with someone else from the team (but an alumni from my school, which was thoughtful!) Interviewers provided in-depth information on the role, Playstation's business and vision, and it almost felt like a panelist session at some point. Career Talent team was responsive, overall communication process was smooth and efficient.
