The interview process was pretty smooth overall, just a bit longer than usual because of the holidays. It was great talking to everyone, they were all super nice and professional. It kicked off with a LinkedIn message from a recruiter, and we chatted on the phone the next day. The following week, I had a brief call with the technical director. After that, I got a take-home test that was both artistic and technical. Then, there was a video call to go over the test with a technical artist based in San Francisco, and they also asked me some engine-related technical questions. A few weeks later, I had a series of Zoom interviews where we discussed my previous projects and how I've solved technical challenges within them. They also threw in some more behavioral questions. Following a reference check, the final round was an on-site meeting in Montreal with a senior product manager and the team members I'd already met. It was all really insightful and definitely worth the time!

Behavioral Technical

The interview stages were pretty simple. It started with a screening call with the recruiting team, which was nice. After that, I quickly got an invite for technical discussions and then met the team. They asked more practical questions to see how I'd tackle certain issues. The whole thing was smooth, and I knew when I'd hear back about the next steps.
