I applied online and they got back to me a few months later. The interview was on Skype. The job was in Montreal, but the interviewers were senior artists in their Dallas office. They asked a lot of questions about my demo reel and the tools I used to solve challenges and problems. I didn't get an offer and was basically ghosted. I had to follow up at least twice, and getting an answer took over two additional months. Ultimately, I probably would have had visa issues anyway.

I applied online and a few weeks later the Artist Manager gave me a call. They invited me for an interview on a weekday morning. I met with 3 producers from different projects. We talked about my past work and my experience/interest in animation. It was a pretty chill vibe, I wore a tie but it wasn't necessary, pants and a button-up shirt would have been fine.
