A recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn and I shared my interest in a position. After a quick chat over phone I received an online survey link with questions about software development (C++, C#, Optimizations, Caching, Hardware in general, software, etc.) A few days later I received an invitation to an onsite interview with 2 different teams. Both teams outlined their technical challenges and especially the first project and team was a great match. I received another invitation to the next onsite interview with more and deeper technical questions. I had a very good feeling and enjoyed the overall experience a lot - until this stage.

HR called me two days later, and told me the team would like to make me an offer but the team received a hiring stop for 6 months. They referred me to another team and they were interested. Unfortunately I would have needed to go through a similar interview process again to ensure the new team is a good match as well. The role didn't sound interesting to me so I declined it. To say it bluntly, Ubisoft wasted more than three days of my time - and of their own employees' time. Very disappointing experience!

Why do you want to work at Ubisoft?
