Who we are
Respawn Entertainment is a AAA game development studio that was founded in 2010 by former co-founders of Infinity Ward and creators of the multi-billion dollar Call of Duty and Modern Warfare franchises. We shipped Titanfall and Titanfall 2 to critical acclaim, and recently shipped a free-to-play battle royale game in the Titanfall universe, Apex: Legends. We are currently hiring for our Star Wars™ Jedi:Fallen Order, Apex: Legends, and Super Secret VR game development teams. The opportunity to create groundbreaking games with some of the best developer talent in the industry awaits our future team members.

I worked at Respawn Entertainment full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
- Respectful team
- Considerate management
- An abundance of passion
- Lots of team building events, such as parties, sports groups, etc.
- Transparent -- anyone could find out and learn about almost anything
- Achievements beyond expectations are recognized and rewarded
- They've figured out how to make live-service development pleasant and avoid many of the usual issues
- Lots of different lunch groups -- everyone likes to make you feel like you belong
- Lots of interdepartmental conversation -- both social and professional
- Lots of interaction between the different Respawn game teams
- Constant playtesting, including "Friday Night Fights" where I always had a fun time
- Plenty of growth opportunities
- Access to EA's massive network of developers, information, tools, etc. Want to learn how Battlefield did that cool thing? You can ask the person who did it.
- Management is very receptive to change.
Cons
- Personal project policy is very restrictive.
- Despite team sizes being relatively small, it can sometimes feel more "big stable game company" than "small exciting game company."
Application
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Respawn Entertainment (Los Angeles, CA) in March 2020.
Interview
First interview is by recruiter, and then a 4 questions coding test, not easy but also not that hard, the third round is interview by a SDE and QA director in Respawn
