Process

The interview process involved 6 interviews, with two interviews each from three different studios on campus.

Each studio sent a software engineer to test technical ability and a senior manager or producer to test cultural fit.

The questions ranged from trees and performance optimization to 3D space problems.

Overall, the experience was interesting as it was a good mix of technical questions and interesting debates about Artificial Intelligence approaches to different kinds of games.
