      Game Play Engineer Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at WildTangent (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2015

      Interview

      I applied online, was sent a programming test, then after completing that test was sent a design test. After completing the design test an all day in person interview was scheduled with the team. The in person interview involved both design and programming questions, and I would describe it as highly technical. One interviewer asked follow-up questions about my programming test submission, and I very much regretted having not reviewed it before the interview (there was a several week gap between my test submission and the interview due to scheduling issues). The HR team was friendly and helpful, and while scheduling was a challenge they did everything they could to work with me.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They asked several fairly standard programming type questions (traverse a binary tree, path finding, etcetera). The biggest curve ball was when they asked a very standard programming question, then after I solved it in the common and obvious way asked "Okay, now how would you do that without using the technique you just used." It was a good question, and one I answered poorly. I *think* that's what cost me the job.
