I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PlayStation (San Mateo, CA) in May 2013
Interview
Got an interview with them through a recruiter. First they screen you with a simple English test to make sure that you have good grammar and spelling since all that's required is a high school education. Then you get to the interview and get asked generic questions that's you'd get in any interview. They were nice enough and the interview was pretty casual, but the questions weren't all that engaging.

Overall they just wanted to see how proactive you are in pursuing the game industry.
I applied online. I interviewed at PlayStation (Liverpool, England) in Jan 2018
Interview
The interview is in two parts, one of which is a panel with 1-2 people where they ask you interview questions and get to know you ect. The other is a practical where you have to play a game and note down bugs and glitches you find in the build.

I applied online. I interviewed at PlayStation (Liverpool, England) in Sep 2017
Interview
At first there was a casual phone call for the company to get to know my qualifications, knowledge and to get a basis of what I can do. An interview date was then set for me to attend in Liverpool.

Question 1
What are your 3 favourite games and why?
Why do you want to work for Playstation?
Here is a can of Coke, how would you go about testing this?
There was also a test where they set up devkits with controllers and gave us a broken game to play and find as many defects as possible and write them out in a report format, that they would explain before the test.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at PlayStation (San Diego, CA) in Dec 2015
Interview
I had a phone interview and a week later I was in a 'class' that walked you through what the job was. If you had a certain score you got to the next phase of waiting for a position on a title to open. I spoke with the trainer after class and got talking about games. I got a call for the following day. I dont think that they test anymore so this is probably outdated
