      Senior Programmer Interview

      Sep 10, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Diego, CA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Rockstar Games (San Diego, CA) in Sep 2016

      Interview

      The interview was pretty antagonistic with prima donna personalities on the team. They idolize 80 hour crunch weeks. A lot of people there look burnt out. Morale is down the tank. They don't even pay well either. They wanted me to take a 30k pay cut to go work there, no thanks.
