Working for Blizzard Entertainment - This is what it's like....

I worked for Blizzard Entertainment as an MMORPG Gamesmaster for over a year in the Ireland Offices.

In these following posts you'll learn more of my first hand experiences of working for Blizzard.


Interview Process
  • Apply to Blizzard
  • Get phone call out of the blue
  • On the spot telephone Interview
  • Secondary Phone call offered Live Interview
  • Arrived in Ireland at own expense for Interview
  • Interviewed by Senior GM
  • Took a brief 10 minute Test
  • Returned Home
  • Got phone call with Job Offer
  • Recieved Relocation Information
Training 

I really enjoyed my training, it lasted one week. People now can expect two weeks training.


The Pay

The pay is not really good enough for the amount of hours you work and lack of public holidays you get off. However saying that the pay is alot better than most would expect. Perks and bonuses are a good offset.
 

Interview / Training / Pay
The Office / Break Room
The Work / The People
The Perks
Should you work for Blizzard Entertainment?

Hello , know its an old post but yet I want to ask what 10 minutes test was about? Is it was typing skills? Or in game skills test?

The test is a basic customer service question in like 3 parts. It is still the same one they use, up to at least last year. (confirmed as refered a friend to work there)

May have changed now, who knows.
