The interview process started with a short introductory call with the hiring manager. This call was mostly about understanding the role, team expectations, and some basic HR-related details.
After that, I was given an assignment round with 3 days to complete. There were three assignments in total:
One compulsory
Two optional, out of which I had to choose one
The compulsory assignment involved creating a simple card pick game. The task required implementing:
Animation logic
Simple particle VFX
Sound effects
I was free to use any game engine of my choice.
For the optional assignment, I chose to create a shader that generates an outline around PNG images. The requirements were:
Customizable outline thickness
Customizable color
Interactivity (outline reacting on hover or click events)
After submitting the assignments and clearing that round, I had a call with the hiring manager, followed by the first technical interview.
This round was fairly approachable and focused on:
Optimization techniques
Performance considerations
Debugging
Simple scenario-based questions
Once I cleared Technical Round 1, I moved on to Technical Round 2, which was conducted by the Lead Technical Artist. This round again included:
Mostly scenario-based technical questions
A few non-technical questions related to workflow, problem-solving, and experience
After clearing both technical rounds, I reached the AGM (Associate General Manager) round, which was a non-technical interview.
Unfortunately, I was not able to clear the AGM round, and my interview process ended there.
Overall, the experience was good and well-structured, and I appreciated the technical depth of the assignments and interviews. The only downside was the lack of feedback. After going through three interview rounds plus an assignment, I was hoping for at least some feedback on what went wrong. I even followed up via email but didn’t receive a response, which was a bit frustrating since it leaves you unsure about what to improve.
That said, it was still a valuable experience and a good learning process overall.
