Big Fish Games Interview Questions
& Process

The interview steps followed a pretty typical path: first a call to get things rolling, then a chat with the hiring manager, followed by meeting some of the folks I'd be working with, and finally another check-in before anything else. What really stood out, though, was how open and friendly everyone was throughout the whole process. The team seemed genuinely happy, and they really stressed the importance of that 'family' vibe they have going on. It actually aligns with how I feel about work – it's way better when you actually like the people you're spending your days with. On the questions about skills and experience, they mostly stuck to what the company was looking for. It was a nice change to have interviews that were so focused on the company's specific needs. I wish more places did this: focusing on what the company needs, how you could fit that need, what problems might come up, and how your experience could solve those problems. There was hardly any generic interview talk, and they definitely put a good amount of effort into understanding you as a person.

I interviewed with Big Fish Games. The first call was with the hiring manager, where we discussed the role, the team, and the company, and they learned about my background. The second call was with another manager and was more focused on my experience, examples, and motivations. Both interviews seemed to go well, and I was told I'd hear back the week after the second call. I never heard back, even after sending a follow-up email about the status, which I found disappointing and unprofessional.

I was contacted by a recruiter via email after applying on their website. She reached out to schedule a call, and although we had to reschedule because she got sick, she was upfront about it and let me know proactively. So, I didn't have to wait until the interview day to find out it wasn't happening, which was really appreciated! The recruiter was super nice and did a good job explaining the role, why they're hiring, the duties involved, and about the company. She asked some typical phone screening questions, but it felt more like a chat, and she seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say.

The interview process was pretty standard: apply, then a quick chat with HR, followed by a long technical interview in person. What was really cool though was how interested the whole team seemed. It felt like everyone genuinely wanted to be there, not just going through the motions or pulling themselves away from their actual work. They were all present, both physically and mentally. Everyone was on time, and they made sure I had enough time for my questions too. HR was friendly, responsive, and upfront about timelines. Every interaction felt genuinely human and professional, way more than I've seen elsewhere. Lots of small things that really made a big difference. It was easily one of the best interview experiences I've had.
