Epic Games Interview Questions

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.

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!

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).

Initially went well it was casual discussion. Found bit racist doesn’t make you feel like that but without technical round how you can judge someone’s ability only by 10 mins

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.

Recebi uma abordagem via LinkedIn para uma vaga na Epic Games Brasil e realizei uma entrevista com uma pessoa de recrutamento. A vaga era para desenvolvimento do jogo Fortnite, atuando na Unreal Engine com programação em C++. O processo seletivo é extenso, com a realização de um teste técnico seguido de múltiplas entrevistas, cada um com uma área diferente, incluindo entrevistas internacionais em inglês.

The interviewer's inviting and friendly approach created a stress-free environment. Throughout the interview, I felt at ease, and there was no sense of pressure. It was an overall good experience.

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.

After passing the OA, I am giving game-related masked data in CSV file with 4-5 questions to ask you to get insights. The project is fun and the hr is super nice

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.
