The process was quite familiar to me, as the this type of process has been the same in the past:
- Interview with the internal recruiter, short, formal, straight to the point.
- Followed by a call with one of their producers and their animator where we talked about my background, how I work, my knowledge base in VFX and animation. A bit more loose conversation, few jokes here and there.
- After that, a test task, followed by weeks of waiting and tension building.
- Then tech review with their two producers and animator, where we reviewed my work and talked more about me. Again, more formal.
- Aaand then the final call where HR manager made me an offer. Tensions were gone and everyone on the call was smiling.
So in the end, all worked out great.
