Had 3 rounds of interviews, first with recruitment, then a people manager and finally with the Tech director and PM.
All interviews were very people centric, fairly standard and easy to navigate interviews, a couple of tricky questions.
Everyone was very smart which made the conversations interesting. The scale of King was the most exciting part of it.
I was told 2-3 times that the company went through a difficult period after the Microsoft acquisition, that they had laid off a bunch of people 6 months ago.
And when discussing the team, the words "problems" and "burnout" were used a few times.
The process was overall very slow, I let them know I was in final stages with other roles.
We discussed compensation but the overall package was weak and not competitive with what I was offered elsewhere. Which surprised me for a company owned by Microsoft.
I took another offer in the end and decided to not pursue further.
