Process
I was initially reached out for my application in Software Engineer. After a few weeks of communicating back and forth, I was sent to another recruiter for a more suitable role. I later found out that I was to be interviewing for a QA role.
Ultimately, I would have preferred they had given me notice via email instead of calling me with the expectation of interviewing for an SDE role.
They stated that in order to be considered for the software engineer roles there, a minimum of 5 years of experience was needed, or having experience at the top 4 tech companies or other gaming companies. It was a letdown because it raised my hopes, but also because I rescheduled other interviews for this "opportunity".
