The process was pretty simple. First, an HR call to chat about the job and the company. Then, a phone screen where we mostly talked about C++ stuff like lambda, rvalue, lvalue, and cast. After that, a tech round that focused on code, data structures, and algorithms. The last step was a techno-managerial round. This one had more tech questions but no coding, covering situational and behavioral questions, and we also discussed my projects.

Behavioral Technical Other
So at Ubisoft, the hiring process was pretty straightforward. First, I had a call with HR, then an online technical test. After that, there was a longer interview, about an hour and a half, where they asked both technical stuff and about how I'd fit in with the team. Lastly, I chatted with the hiring manager for about 30 minutes. All in all, it was a well-organized process, and I felt like I got a good chance to show what I can do and how I'd be a good fit.

Technical Coding
Applied for a programmer apprenticeship at Ubisoft. After the first interview, I was unexpectedly invited for a second interview for a gameplay programmer role, which was a step up from what I applied for. I was unprepared for this higher-level position. After the interview, I received no communication and was ghosted, only getting a reply from HR after I emailed one of the developers who interviewed me. While the people seemed nice, the overall experience felt disrespectful of my time and value.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Could you walk through this code and suggest improvements?
- Can you explain and implement the flood-fill algorithm?
