Interview
I applied online, and the process took 6 weeks.
Two weeks after I applied, I heard back from the recruiter with a technical screener take-home. Five days after I turned the screener in, the recruiter contacted me for a screening call, which immediately resulted in a decision to proceed to an interview with the hiring managers for the following week. The HM interview lasted one hour, and I heard back about the results by end of week. Four-45min panel interviews were scheduled for 10 days later. I heard back about the final decision within 36-hours.
Overall, it was a great, efficient experience, but the team decided on a different candidate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing too surprising or unexpected. Pretty typical hypothetical scenarios, behavioral questions, etc. One of the interviewers threw in a PM interview question (with warning) because it spoke to some of my experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Epic Games (New York, NY) in May 2022
Interview
This was the most comically bad interview I will ever do in my life. Half of it was on them, half of it was on me, and I think both of us silently realized continuing with the process was in neither of our best interests. In the end, I’m not sure if I agree with how they approach UX research, and I’m glad I found other opportunities.
