      Game Tools Programmer Interview

      12 Jan 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Albany, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Activision (Albany, NY)

      Interview

      First I was tasked with a programming test, I passed and had a phone interview with two engineers. They asked about tech questions about C++ and C#, how I felt about the prior programming test, what games I had been playing, etc. Pretty random questions and they sounded very tired and wasn't too curious about my past experience and why I wanted to do tools development.

      We appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback regarding our phone screening process. Based on your interview location it appears you met with our team at Vicarious Visions. We strive to ensure all candidates have a great interview experience regardless of the outcome and we're sorry to hear your experience was not positive. Typically, a candidate's background, experience, position being considered for, and stage of interview process will dictate the interviewers questions in each session. We have a session built into our engineering onsite interview day that covers a deep dive of of the candidate's resume and past experiences, so at times it may not be necessary to ask those questions during the initial phone conversation. Thank you again for your feedback.
