First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Ubisoft.
Game Audio Programmer
I applied for an audio programmer role but ended up interviewing for a junior game programmer position. The interview was about 15-20 minutes long and conducted on Google Meet. They started with introductions, then asked about my game project, specifically how I handled gravity, audio implementation, and my choice of using raylib over GUI. Following that, we delved into C++ topics like Copy and Move Constructors, Templates, memory allocation mechanisms, the distinction between malloc and new, and class/struct initialization post-malloc memory allocation.

Full Stack Developer
A few years back, I interviewed for a full-stack developer position. The overall experience was good even though I didn't get the job. The role was to help the company's internal tools development team, especially with data visualization. I had several interviews, including one with the tech lead, which I liked because it gave me a chance to meet potential colleagues. Even though I wasn't selected, I had a feedback interview to understand why: my profile was more backend-focused, and they were looking for someone with stronger frontend skills.
No confirmed questions were included in this interview report.
Game Tester
The interview process started with an assessment. After about two to three weeks, I was invited to a technical interview, which went really well. The interviewers, who were two people, focused on my knowledge and understanding of real-life situations, not just basic terms. They also presented me with scenarios to assess my analytical skills. A few days later, HR confirmed I had passed the technical round and scheduled an HR interview, which was also very pleasant. The HR representative was quite polite. Overall, the interviews were smooth, which was a relief compared to other companies where communication can be lacking.
- Questions related to analyzing situations and real-life scenarios were asked.
- Some questions focused on how you'd handle specific real-life situations.
- There were also questions designed to gauge analytical skills through scenarios.
Game Designer
The interview process involved one initial interview, followed by a test, and then another interview to discuss the test results, culminating in an offer. The focus was technical, exploring your potential contributions within the studio, assessing your skills, and discussing how to shape your career path through the studio's various projects, considering their flexibility.
- Tell me about your previous work.
- Describe a difficult production challenge you encountered and how you overcame it.
- How would you approach a design question like 'What if I added this to my game?' in a live testing scenario?
