Konami Gaming, Inc. Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process involved gaming-related questions about specific protocols like x, SAS, and qcom. They also asked about testing the product, your previous work experience and how it aligns with this role, and system information about systems you've tested.

First, HR reviews your resume, portfolio, and technical background to see if you fit the job. They might give you a quick call to get more info. Then, you'll do an online programming test, probably with puzzles about algorithms, data structures, and game stuff like AI or physics. This checks how you solve problems and code. After that, HR chats with you about whether you'd fit in, why you want to work here, and how you handle things. They'll also cover practical stuff like pay and the work vibe. If you pass that, senior engineers will grill you technically about game dev ideas, designing systems, and programming for real-time. You might have to solve problems on the fly about game engines, making things run fast, or how it's all put together. If everything goes well, HR will offer you the job and talk about salary, perks, and moving, and you can negotiate before signing.

This seemed like the perfect position, and it was quite a difficult thing to decline. The manager I spoke with was absolutely professional and impressive. The operation is great. Plus, I love Las Vegas. I was contacted by a recruiter, who then organized the interview. A couple weeks later, I visited the company and met with HR and the manager. His English wasn't perfect (a Japanese fellow), but he was extremely nice and had a great sense of humor. He spent a lot of time telling me about the position, and then asked some very specific questions about games and the gaming market. He was very curious about my background and how it would fit into the job.

It was a virtual interview. They asked about my Unity experience, which was okay, but they really focused on a lot of textbook/definition questions about C# and Unity. It felt like they didn't understand that many people use C# specifically for Unity and expect us to have formally 'studied' it. There weren't any practical Unity technical questions like 'how would you do xxx / implement xxx with Unity', it was all just bookish stuff.
