Red Storm Entertainment Interview Questions

Recruiter interview, game design test, then gauntlet interviews with team. Closed out with the lead Game Designer. Was told I was for sure moving on to next stages, but then received an email that I wouldn't be.

Applied online and heard back around two weeks after I submitted my application with an invitation for a phone interview. After informing them of my interest, it took almost an entire month to actually get the phone interview scheduled. The interview itself was very pleasant. Just a laid back chat about my interests, what I would like to work on, and what I worked on in the past. Hiring Manager overall was very nice. Was told I would hear back in a couple of days but I never heard anything at all. Easily one of the worst hiring processes I've ever been through.

Took an art test, flew my out for an in person interview. Everyone told me how awesome my portfolio and then I hear back that they went with someone who had more experience however they knew that I had limited experience before I flew out for the in-person so it was a waste of everyones time.

Took a long time to hear from anyone. Person was nice who called me. Short interview by phone. Got a phone call and interviewed with tons of people. Intimidating. Panel in person with art director, artists and producer. Reviewed my portfolio and art work.

Phone interview followed by on site. Pretty straight forward but some philosophical tricky questions. Not a lot of technical questions. Interviewed with a varierty of people from different teams.

The team contacted me within 2 weeks of my application to set up a phone interview. Two days later I was sent a questionnaire through survey monkey. The next week I was scheduled for an all day in person interview with representatives from the development team: Support, QA, Level Design, Producers, V.P.'s and Mr. Reid himself. As a Gamer myself it was such an honor to be in their studio. I was probably a little too "star struck" at the time which only added to my nerves. Even though I didn't get the job, their hiring tools/process were so well executed I have adopted several of the parts in my current position as an HR/Recruiting Coordinator.

I applied online and was shortly emailed back with a request for a phone interview. The phone interview consisted of talking to the HR manager and then talking with 2 senior level engineers, followed by the engineer who would be my lead. After that I was brought in for an in person interview. First up was a programming test which I had 1 hour to complete. After that it was on to an interview with 2 senior producers for the project. They seemed to try to be scary to see how you would react. Next I talked to a panel of 3 engineers (the same ones i spoke to on the phone) who reviewed the programming test with me and went over a few other programming questions. Last interview was with the VP of Development, who asked general personality questions, skillset questions, and questions about goals. Finally I wrapped up with the HR rep who set up my interview, and went home to wait for the email. Response from that was super fast, I got their reply before I sent out my thank you letter.

Initially I heard about the job opening via a current employee. This is standard for the company to find future hires through existing staff before advertising. Once application was submitted, I was contacted by HR. They set up a phone interview/discussion. After a test was done, I then came in for a 3-4 hour interview starting with HR,paper work, and building orientation. At first I met with 3 artist, including the Art Director of the project I was to work on. Then I met with a few producers, and then the Director/VP.

If you can impress them with them with a great portfolio they will quickly consider you. But in the face to face interview that will take a back seat, because they want to learn about your personality. Several people will interview you over the day long process, including people who have never interviewed anyone before.

Emailed them my resume and got a response asking me for a good time to do a phone interview. Spoke with a senior programmer during the interview. At the end of the interview he said everything looked great and they would call me to setup a date for an in-house interview. Never got a call back and after a week, called them to ask them my status. Left a message and never heard back from them. The person I interviewed with was very nice over the phone but the complete lack of response was very rude given my expectations to go in for an in-house.
