Gameplay Programmer at Gameloft

Declined Offer – Interviewed in New Orleans, LA May 2012 – Reviewed Nov 20, 2012

Interview Details – I applied on Gameloft's career site and was contacted within two weeks. After an HR interview with Gameloft New Orleans they determined I was "good to go" for a technical test, which I got emailed to me a week later. At this point I told them I was interested in graphics so I got the graphics test, and it was a doozy. I'm not a good test-taker but I did my best. It was four hours for about 100 questions, including some longer ones worth more points.

They got back to me and said I wasn't moving on, but it was very cordial and friendly. I had no hard feelings.

Imagine my surprise when I got a call a few months later saying that I was considered again! I was pleased that they remembered me. Because it was so close to the summer things moved along pretty quickly, and I got a technical interview in a few days. It was tough as well but I did better with it. It consisted of me talking to one guy about two or three open-ended questions and then what kind of work would be expected of me. I sensed that they were going to extend an offer at this point, so maybe they don't always go over the anticipated work.

I was offered the position but sadly I couldn't take it. I was anticipating a housing stipend to help my poor intern self out but it never came. With Louisiana minimum wage at 7 an hour, it just was too expensive of a move. Everybody was wonderful and the company looks like a blast but, well, I guess these things just happen.

Interview Question – I was asked by my technical interviewer about game design ideas, which is not my forte really. I think it was a good question to ask, but I wasn't ready for it.   Answer Question

Reason for Declining – The distance (New Jersey to New Orleans) with no housing stipend was too great.

Senior 3D Animator at Gameloft

No Offer – Interviewed in Montreal, QC (Canada) Dec 2012 – Reviewed Mar 25, 2013

Interview Details – Stage One: HR Recruiter responded to my application within 3 days and asked me to complete a technical test which consist of rigging a quadruped and a series of looped animation within 7 days.

Stage Two: Wait - The recruiter asked me to wait because it is coming to Christmas holidays and the art directors and producers will be away from work.

Well, fair enough but he NEVER replied after 1 month. I sent the recruiter an email only to get a response only 2 weeks later informing that the position had been filled. HOW UNPROFESSIONAL. At least correspond with me earlier if they decide to close the position and not keep me in suspense for a month. TERRIBLE.

Interview Question – Technical Animation Test. Applicants are required to complete RIGGING and ANIMATION problems. If you are not much of a rigger, you might have serious problem with this test.   Answer Question
