Warner Bros. General Intern Interview Questions
& Process

I did the HireVue for the internship and got to the last part, which had three 20-min interviews. I think it went alright, but they totally ghosted me. Apparently, that's how they do things if you don't get the job. They don't seem to care about candidates, and I'm not interviewing with them again.

I applied for the game developer Summer Intern 2022 role. The first interview was a Hirevue! It was pretty straightforward with just some behavioral questions about my personality. After passing Hirevue, I had a zoom interview with the lead of the team I'd be joining. He was really nice and chill, which made it much easier. This interview was all technical questions, but I didn't have to do any actual coding. He asked me basic C++ questions and wanted me to walk through the projects on my Github. I was super nervous because it was my first internship interview, but it was a really good experience!

After submitting my online application, I waited three months before hearing back and getting invited to an assessment day. There were about 30 candidates total, along with two current interns and around 7 assessors who watched us during the activities. We started with an icebreaker where we had to introduce ourselves (names and courses) and then say which Warner Bros character we were most like and explain why. For this, it's better to give an original reason for relating to a character, maybe connecting to a plot point in their film, rather than just saying 'Superman because he's strong like me'. Then, we were split into groups of 5 for group tasks. We watched a trailer for a new film and answered questions on a worksheet. Our group had to answer each question and present it to a panel in 5 minutes, using a large paper sheet as a visual aid for the presentation. Make sure to speak up and share your ideas, as you're being evaluated all day. It might be smart to assign questions to team members to make the most of your limited time. Next, we had a 'speed dating' style interview with about 4-5 rounds, where we had to answer questions in 15 seconds. Then came lunch, which was a chance to chat with current interns, heads of departments I was interested in, and other Warner Bros staff, as well as fellow candidates. After lunch, they announced who was moving on. Selected candidates then completed individual tasks: spotting errors on a DVD cover (like spelling mistakes) and writing an email to a new colleague to arrange a meeting and merchandise. For the merchandise part, it's important to ask clarifying questions as it was confusing. Finally, I had a relaxed 25-minute interview with two heads of departments. If you get this far, you'll receive a phone call within the week about whether you got the job, and you can ask for feedback then, even if you're not selected.
