Crytek Developer interview questions

Shortly after applying I was invited for a first interview with one of the teams at Crytek. Unbeknownst to me, this was already a technical interview, with a barrage of programming questions - there was no talk about salary expectations or employment conditions. All people were nice and friendly, though. After this, I was assigned a programming test to be completed within a 3-days time frame. Now, this assignment was BIG, and I cannot imagine anybody completing it within the time limit without putting full-time effort into it. I found this to be a bit of a red flag and highly unusual, even for FAANG-level companies. Some time after completing and delivering the test, I received a rejection email saying that, although my coding skills are very strong, they decided to proceed with another candidate that better aligns with the position's requirements. I found this rather unfair and disrespectful, as it was an open admission that the team's decision was made regardless of the test's outcome, and without much consideration on whether they would be wasting my time or not.

Basic and advanced knowledge of Software Engineering is required. From the different of Stack and Heap memory, to advanced quiz such as swapping very long string with lack of processing memory. If you offer to interview for this position, you should review all over your school notes.
