I had a phone interview with mostly behavioral questions. I received a technical assignment that had to be delivered in a week (a very interesting and hard mini-project). After that, they called me for some on-site interviews. There were 6 in total, with different durations:

• 2 technical (45 minutes each):

  • One was based on decisions about the project, improvements, etc. If you did your own project and justified your decisions, you should be fine.
  • The second was mostly about different technologies, to test your knowledge and approaches to other paradigms (what would you use to fix this? why not this other thing? what is the advantage of this over that?). I was not asked any coding questions.

• 4 behavioral (15-45 minutes each):

  • These were mostly with different types of managers (from team managers to head of studio).
  • These interviews seemed unfocused and disorganized. They appeared to be looking for professionals willing to adapt and with a proactive attitude, asking questions accordingly, but I cannot offer specific advice on how to tackle them.

Overall, the experience was nice. The people were relaxed and open-minded, and the offices are AWESOME. The most important thing seems to be the technical assignment. If you complete it by yourself, trying to enforce the best design patterns you know, you should do well in the interviews.

Is it necessary to synchronize on private methods?

What are the latest technologies you have worked on?

What is the advantage of functional programming over imperative programming?
