Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If I knew C++ or actually did my projects. Really disrespectfully asked and no regard for my time.
Started as 5 hour interview and then they changed and said it’s only gonna be 3 hours and next day recieved a rejection letter. Disappointed! Mostly C/C++, some game play programming patterns, collision query and resolution, optimization techniques.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Heavy Iron Studios in May 2023
