Question 1
Can you explain how you performed on (project) and what you did to achieve this type of result?
The first round was a video call interview. This was terrible, they canceled the interview 30 minutes before without any reason, I had no idea what happened, they didn’t even send an explanation about this
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic Games (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
screen call on google meet. I was uncomfortable that they used google meet paired with gemini and recorded the interview. It also became apparent that the interviewer had no technical background and was simply recording my answers for review later.
I applied online. I interviewed at Epic Games in Oct 2025
Interview
The whole process is non-standard and quite unprofessional. I put "very difficult" just because there is not much one can do to prepare for such interviews. The questions were quite easy once you realize what they are looking for. Unlike large companies the recruiter doesn't have much idea about the interview process. The salary is not negotiated until the end of the process. They give you a take-home task which takes a few hours to complete and a panel discussion on that. Before that there is a round of "technical" interview.
