The interview experience with Pocket Gems was demanding yet positive. The recruiter I was in touch with was also one of the best recruiters that I ever talked to, who cared about candidates as people and explained every step very thoroughly. My conversation with PG started with a standard recruiter screening conversation. After that, I was given a take-home assignment that asked me to pick my favorite games and evaluate them. There was also a data analysis task, for which basic Excel/R skills could be helpful. I received the invitation to move onto phone interviews after submitting my homework. The two phone interviews I had were typical PM interviews that involve metrics and hypothetical product situations, yet with more emphasis on math. A couple of brain teasers were given. They then moved me onto the final day, which was done virtually due to COVID-19. I met six different people from various functionalities that day, and our conversation spanned across game design, metrics, production, story narration and user interface. The chats were challenging yet exciting. Another interesting fact is that PG has two product tracks: core gaming and casual gaming. The core gaming track will ask more math and game design questions, while the casual gaming track is more like standard app management which focuses more on metrics and user behavior.
