Technical Behavioral

I applied to NCSoft via an employee referral and the whole process wrapped up in about 3 weeks. I had two rounds of onsite interviews. The first was a 2-hour technical interview where I tackled some problems and discussed my past work. The second was a 1-hour final interview which was mostly about them, and they asked some pretty immature questions.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • They presented some technical problems and asked me to demonstrate how I would solve them. They also inquired about my accomplishments in previous roles.
  • They briefly asked about my previous work experience and then posed some other questions that seemed immature and annoying, revealing their underlying intentions.

The interview process was great. Interviewers were friendly. One of the interesting parts was that there was a take home coding project. After submitting the project, there's a follow-up meeting regarding the project. They ask about how you implemented it and why you used certain approach.
