I definitely didn't get the "typical" experience. I started during COVID, never met another co-worker in person, and have team members all over the country (some international too).
That said, my studio has been great. They actually care, they work hard to make sure there is no crunch, and they try to get everyone in the studio engaged.
From a company perspective, it is definitely a corporate culture, but this is balanced by the studios themselves. Each studio will be different, and that is actually really great.
Salaries and stock should be a bit more competitive versus the top companies, but besides that, I really enjoy it.
Had an interview with 4 different rounds. First round was HR. Then a tech round with the managers, and then 2 panel rounds. It was a bitter ending; I did not get an offer.
Starting with a phone screening with HR, followed by an interview with the technical director. Then a technical interview with team members and a behavioral interview with a producer and a project manager.
A first screening with the recruiter to talk about the position. An interview with the software engineering lead, and then three more rounds of interviews. One of them was "culture add" and then two technical interviews, which were pretty similar.
