Anonymous Interview Candidate in New York, NY
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Rockstar Games (New York, NY)
The first round of the interview process (I think for anyone applying) is a recorded interview generated from a website called MyInterview. You're not talking to anyone. You sign in and there will be prompted questions "What's your biggest weakness" and you will have 2-3 minutes to record/complete the question. There are several of these. On the screen you will see the video of you being recorded (like a zoom) and a big count down clock of your time remaining. I don't understand this choice or process because I don't think it sets up anyone for success.
- What is your biggest weakness

Do you guys know if these companies hire in Europe remotely? Riot Games Activision Blizzard Entertainment Rockstar Games Bungie I’m trying to make a list of the companies hiring remotely in Europe.If you guys know triple AAA companies don’t hesitate to comment.
I know Activision, has offered myself and colleagues of mine to interview for roles that are remote. They've been for studios in the US, while we are in the UK. Rockstar I have colleagues working there and officially, no they are not offering remote. However, some roles are being considered. If you're the right person for the job they will contemplate remote options. Again this is based on UK. But maybe it would extend to the rest of Europe

I interviewed at Rockstar Games (New York, NY)
Horribly organized and completely disrespectful of the candidate's time. Applied in April, interviewed multiple times and didn't receive a decision until I followed up in August. They didn't even have the decency to check what position I applied for, and rejected me from a completely different job. Only good side is that I didn't get tricked into working here, management seems disorganized and I'm sure it's an awful environment to work in.
- Can't share, signed an NDA

Anonymous Interview Candidate in London, England
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rockstar Games (London, England)
Video screening interview involved recording answers within one minute. The questions popped up immediately after clicking 'begin', and then the recording started three seconds later, even though the website said it would start after one minute. The questions weren't too hard for the most part.
- Why Rockstar? What skills do you have that would be beneficial to this role? Mostly basic interview questions.

Technical test was pure leetcode and was unreasonably hard and academic, and had nothing to do with real software engineering. I withdrew my application. Say no to unreasonable technical tests and let's improve the job searching process.
- String manipulation, graph traversal and shortest path algorithms, bitshift math, all previously solved problems readily available on the internet.
