      Cinematics Assistant Interview

      13 Feb 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Irvine, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Blizzard Entertainment (Irvine, CA) in Jul 2012

      Interview

      Applied through a friend with strong connections and had a phone interview but received no offer. I was interviewed by three team members at once over the course of approximately 20 minutes. I was initially asked about my work and education background - fairly standard - before being questioned specifically about my knowledge for their games, folk lore, etc. As a die hard Blizzard gamer from the mid 90s through 2009/10, I was able to pass quite well in my opinion (for example, they asked me to cite my favorite differences between Diablo I and Diablo II, which I gave both their due credit for by citing specific examples). Once we progressed to the medium-to-highly technical questions, which they asked very well in my opinion, I wasn't able to give the answers that I believe matched their desired position requirements, and thus I was not ultimately offered a job. Everything was fair about the process - I had the highest level of recommendations - but I was applying for this position too early after graduating and not with enough full-time experience in this particular field.
