Technical Presentation Group
This was one of the most demanding interviews I've ever gone through. It was a lengthy process that spanned several weeks and covered all aspects of my game design expertise. Many different team members were involved in the interviews, and there was also a substantial practical skills assessment. It was a wild and potentially draining experience, but it truly ensured I was prepared for the role in every way. It also highlighted my weaker areas, so if I were hired, they could pair me with a mentor to help me grow as a designer and improve the onboarding for everyone.
