Technical Coding
So, the interview process had three stages. First, there was an initial screening. Then, I had a video interview with the lead engineer, which involved a technical portion. I didn't do well on that technical part because they asked me a threading problem, which caught me off guard. The recruiter had mentioned OOP and threading as important topics before, but I didn't expect an actual programming question on threading. I was anticipating more LeetCode-style or OOP design questions.

Standard technical questions about common game dev programming languages and relevant experience with game dev. Behavioral questions and an easy leetcode coding problem on a whiteboard were asked. They were pretty nice.

Technical Coding System Design Behavioral
It was a 4-round process. The first round was an online assessment for students with good CGPA. Those who passed the first round had in-office interviews for the remaining rounds. The second round was a technical one where they went through my resume, asked about OOP implementation, and gave me a Tic-Tac-Toe game to design and code, plus some SQL queries. The third round was a managerial round, also for those who passed the second. They asked about my projects and gave me a sorting algorithm problem. Clearing that led to the final, fourth round, which was an HR round with standard HR questions.
Confirmed questions4 questions
- Can you implement object-oriented programming languages?
- Have you solved data structures and algorithms problems?
- Can you write SQL queries?
