Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Treyarch.
Intern
The hiring process was quite straightforward. After submitting an online application and meeting the basic requirements, the recruiter helped schedule a Skype interview with a team from the relevant department. The interview started on time and felt appropriately paced, with a good number of questions to assess my fit without being overwhelming. Although I didn't get the job, I was impressed by the professionalism of the animation team and the recruiter, Jennifer Ripley, throughout the experience.
- Would you rather work as part of a team or on your own?
- What are some strategies you would use to manage and overcome a stressful situation?
Intern
Applied online through their site, recorded a video answer to questions, then an on-site interview. Overall straightforward but tripped up on a "this isn't a trick question" question. Although I was told the interview process would happen at a certain time, include lunch, and last for 3+ hours, the interviewers came in late after having lunch (I ended up waiting 30 minutes or so for them in the lobby), and the whole thing lasted maybe 50 minutes before they showed me out. Overall neutral experience if not a little unprofessional.
- Besides games made by Treyarch, what games have you been playing recently?
- Which items on your demo reel are from school assignments?
- Where do you find inspiration outside of gaming?
Intern
The interview process started with an online Skype interview, after which there was a considerable waiting period. This was followed by a final online Skype interview that lasted for an hour. Additionally, there was a one-hour programming test which included a code and a paper section. The recruiter was quite friendly, and the interviewers were also personable. Skype can sometimes be a bit challenging. Feedback was provided after the interview.
- Was a Non-Disclosure Agreement signed?
