      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Rockstar Games

      Interview

      Really difficult interview process Expect difficult questions about data structures, algorithms, complex situations. Big O notation etc, It’s a really intense interview with some difficult interviewers in my opinion. It was mainly a conversation between 2 senior engineers where they ask you to compare data structures and the tradeoffs.
