Colloquio
Everyone was friendly and professional throughout the process. Recruiters did a great job communicating with me. Blizzard places a strong emphasis on culture fit and passion for games, so be prepared to talk about both.
My process started with a 1 hour phone call with a recruiter, which was mainly walking through my past experience. Afterwards, I had a 1 hour technical phone call with the leads of the team I would be joining, which was more in-depth to make sure that my skills matched the job description. Then, I took a short programming test at home, which tested basic programming knowledge in game development. Finally, I visited Irvine for a full day onsite interview with multiple rounds, which covered a wide variety of skill and culture fit questions.

Colloquio
Quick process, a screening interview, then a coding challenge on a code test website. The challenge was intended to be difficult to impossible. I was told that no one passed. Making the challenge more difficult is the instruction that I pretend that the two interviewers are my colleagues and that I should demonstrate my collaboration skills while coding. I was repeatedly interrupted with suggestions, try this, etc. that It was difficult to proceed. I was told to ask questions and discuss my train of thought - something one naturally doesn't do in an interview for fear of saying something wrong. At the one-hour mark suddenly everyone had to attend some other meeting. Collaboration occurs during design meetings and whiteboards, not while you are heads-down coding. It's no wonder nobody passed. Also, don't bother requesting accommodation for a disability - they'll ghost you for asking.
