Anonymous Interview Candidate in Chicago, IL
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic Games (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2023
Standard interview process. Got recruiter phone, asked basic questions about sponsor, tell me about yourself, etc. Was told by them they would set up a further round, but unfortunately I took antoher offer before that.
- Tell me a little about yourself

I applied online. I interviewed at Epic Games
At the conclusion of the interview Epic Games recruiter had requested I'd complete an art test. They had sent out the art test with little notice and had anticipated I, as a candidate with over 5 years experience, would work 40 hours for free. I was interested at the prospect of working on Fortnite and at having the opportunity of working with Unreal Engine so I was willing to complete this assignment. It took me a bit over 40 hours to complete, because of the short amount of time I was given I had to work in the evenings after my job and spend my weekends on this. I delivered the assignment only to be rejected. Of course, no compensation was provided and those 40 hours are lost forever. At the very least I was hoping they could provide feedback as to why the assignment's results were rejected, despite promising me several times they'd get back to me they never have. I am incredibly disappointed with Epic Games and would discourage anyone else from applying. This practice of art assignments, wherein, the candidate does not get compensated nor even provided with feedback on how to improve, is incredibly exploitive and should be removed. For a company of this size I would have imagined they'd do better then this. I know my skillset and I know I can do the work. I have years of experience behind my back, many references and a large portfolio with many AAA shipped titles. There is no reason to force me to go through this. I'd be more understanding if this type of art assignment was handed to a recent graduate or to someone with barely any experience in the industry. As mentioned, its very exploitative, Epic, do better!

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Cary, NC
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic Games (Cary, NC)
The interviewer was overall nice but the process to get to that point, and hear back afterwards, was hell. 1: After getting an email to confirm time that needs to be replied to so the interviewer knows you're set, got stood up when the interview came. 2: Despite emailing several times asking if something was wrong, there was no response. Needed to send yet another another email a few days later to get a response. 3: After finally getting a response I say I'm open to interviewing sometime again if that works better. I hear nothing until almost a week later getting another "Confirm interview time" email without having had really any input beforehand. 4: Finally get to the interview and I'm told I'll hear back early next week, probably Monday. I don't hear back by Thursday and have to email just to figure out I didn't get the job. (sure fine, but if you say "you'll hear back by ____" and ghost someone you said would hear back and is now expecting it is just rude).

take home challenge first, then an interview. Very standard in the industry practice, and was generally pretty fun too. But the take home challenege could use a bit more strcture.
- Describe the dataset, data visualization, etc

It was pretty smooth. I had 5 different interviews with 2 interviewers each(standard for big companies). The interviewers background was diversed, therefore even when focused on similar topics, the questions and scenarios were different.
- What's the metric for determining the efficiency of an algorithm?

Your resume gets tossed around to different departments. There's not great communication after the fact. There is also no remote work option. You must move to North Carolina. They also made it seem like work life balance doesn't exist much within the company.
- Basic questions. Nothing very memorable.
