I applied online. I interviewed at Heavy Iron Studios
Interview
The interview goes pretty well. I get several questions on C++, data structures, and memory. The interviewer is pretty nice. I received a programming test afterwards that takes three hours.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
C++, 3D collision, data structure, memory manipulation
They verified that I was eligible to work in the UK. Then they sent me a coding test over email. The test was over an hour long. Each question was given between 20 - 40 minutes.

I applied online. I interviewed at Heavy Iron Studios (Los Angeles, CA) in Jul 2020
Interview
They had me do a personal interview, and then a take-home 3-hour coding challenge for me to complete on my own. The personal interview consisted of personal questions (the typical kinds) and a couple of 3D mathematical questions and some things about how C++ works. The take-home challenge was a lot more difficult, however.

Question 1
If you had a room full of floating balls in a box, what would be the bottleneck of processing, given that you have to calculate velocity, collision of balls and the wall, and trajectory?
