I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Blizzard Entertainment (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
The interview process began with an on campus group interview, then had two phone interviews, and culminated in an in person technical interview on the Blizzard campus. Overall it was a pleasant experience, though one of the phone interviews was somewhat unpleasant (the manager I was speaking to was just somewhat awkward and it made the interview seem difficult). There were far fewer technical questions than I thought there would be, and they focused instead on what seemed to me to be "culture" questions.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Blizzard Entertainment (Irvine, CA)
Interview
Very straightforward and simple, yet long process with many rounds. Every interviewer was extremely friendly and easy to talk to, but almost every round was a ton of similar behavioral questions and scenarios.

Question 1
Many behavioral questions about how you might react to scenarios or what you have done in the past.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Blizzard Entertainment in Jul 2020
Interview
The process involved an hour-long phone interview with members of the team I'm interviewing with, a fairly in-depth programming test, another interview going over the coding test, then a large multi-person video interview (probably in-person during non-covid times) with people from various disciplines.
Blizzard's interview process has been by far my favorite that I've gone through. The people I talked to were all super friendly and really gave off the vibe that they wanted me to succeed. Did a great job at making me feel comfortable during interviews.
Pretty much my only complaint is that it took a while to get through the whole process.
