Ubisoft Graphic Designer Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process involved talking with various people, including the art director and other artists on the team. It was quite thorough, with 3 interview levels in total. Most of the questions asked were pretty reasonable and friendly.

A recruiter reached out, and after two Skype calls, first with her and then with the Art Director, they asked me to come to their office, at my own expense. Once I got there, I was taken to a room to do a test. I was supposed to speak with the Art Director, but they didn't show up. A 'lead artist' arrived quite late. I mentioned that my last train home left at 8 PM and I had to leave by 7:30 PM to catch it. Their response was, 'That's not my problem.' I did the test, and they gave me two days to finish it at home, asking me to work over the weekend because they were in a hurry. I agreed but asked them to give me an answer within a reasonable timeframe, as I had other offers to consider. I submitted the work. I didn't hear back for two weeks. I ended up accepting another offer.

I was sent an at-home assignment with instructions that were a bit unclear. They asked for two sets of assets that were 'inside the box' designs and two sets of designs that showed 'outside the box' thinking. I think I messed up because they didn't move forward with my application. It's tough to know exactly what those instructions mean to different people or companies. I regret not asking for more clarification, but I was worried it might hurt my chances. It's disappointing to spend so much time creating work and not even get to talk about your thought process.
