Process
There were three interviewers, like most companies. Questions were about past projects, experience, and brain teasers.
One of them asked me how to do path search in my robotics projects. Another asked questions about numerical integration, like the aspects of Runge Kutta.
One brain teaser I remember is: Given a t-rex and a pack of sheep on an island, how large the island needs to be to keep all creatures alive? It was pretty open.
Questions
Probably some details of numerical integration.

Blizzard Work Experiences
- 5.0I interned at Blizzard Entertainment for a summerSoftware Engineer Intern • Former EmployeeIrvine, California, United StatesMarch 28, 2016Pros: The culture is awesome. Everyone has their inner geek, and at Blizzard, you can truly be yourself and release your inner geek. Great perks, especially if you're a gamer (Blizzcon, fun team events, etc.).Cons: Pay is slightly lower than average, but that's probably because Blizzard isn't located in the ultra-expensive Bay Area.
