Epic Games Interview Questions

Got contacted by an initial screener, it was a Zoom interview. Easy questions: Tell me about yourself and why do you want to work for us. Interview lasted about 15 minutes, very nice and conversational. Here is the important detail: The camera was off for both me and the nice lady. I moved to the second round of interviews, this time the camera was on for the interviewer, so I had to turn mine on (courtesy). Her face when she saw me... was a poem, she just couldn't hide the mixed surprise with disgust when she looked at me (and yes, I was on interview attire). I don't know if it was implicit bias, but from that moment on, her questions were the kind you can only answer if you are already working from inside the studio. Needless to say, I could only answer with more questions: What is your capacity? who are your subject matter experts? what is my influential scope? etcetera. I am a project manager and advanced scrum master, this is the first time I felt like my knowledge, experience and personality had little to do with the interview decision. My advice, keep your camera off. Implicit bias runs deep in the game industry (just look at the studio photos and try to find diversity).

Very smooth, I had two interviews, one with the recruiter and one with the team. I heard from the recruiter who basically vetted if I could do the job then the meeting with the team was more about if I would be a fit. The interview process took about three weeks.

Had a take home assignment that took about 6 hours. Then had a 15 minute chat with the recruiter to tell more more about the internship and give me a chance to ask questions. Later had a casual interview with members of the team about my experiences. Overall the entire process was pleasant and I felt that Epic Games valued my time. They placed a lot of importance on the personality of the interviewee.

One programming test, then HR meeting about project experiences, then group meeting with 4 senior engineers for one hour, at last an HR meeting for negotiation and group meeting's feedbacks.

Was interviewed in multiple rounds. A recruiter at first, then a member of the team, and then a long series of interviews with many more team members. Was very expedient and there was great communication all around.

2 hiring manager interviews 1 virtual onsite interview. I dropped out of the interview process because I was told they cannot offer wfh after covid times and I live very far from the office.

The interview process was pretty straightforward. First, I had a 30 min call with the HR for screening and it went well. The next interview was with the UX Lead and another designer. They asked about my previous job and other behavioral questions. They talked about the responsibilities and goals of the designer position. It went well but I never heard back from them.

The interview process overall was pretty organized and efficient. The whole process took about 3 weeks total from initial screen to final in-person interview(before the pandemic). Interview day took about 6 hours, lunch included. The studio was gorgeous and the people were very kind.

Talked about the requirements of the role and asked about my interests. Questions about my background and projects I have worked on. Questions about my experience with testing games and software. Friendly and conversational.

It was a pretty simple interview process. Basic questions like how would you test this, why do you want to work here? The negative experience stemmed from the HR recruiter that I worked with. I had a phone screen and a two person panel interview. Each interview was pushed an hour before each meeting and made me feel as if I had never been a priority.
