J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Frontier Developments (Cambridge, East of England, England) en oct. 2017
Entretien
The interview process involved an online application followed by an invitation on-site. There was then a set of test questions to answer which lasted an hour followed by a discussion with two lead programmers which lasted 2 hours.
When I arrived on-site I wasn't welcomed by anyone and had to sit in the lobby for around 30 mins whilst I waited for my interview. I had arrived 15 mins early but the interview was late in starting by about 15 mins. Normally this wouldn't be a problem but when the time came I was taken to the interview room and given one hour (in reality only 45 minutes due to the late start) to answer interview questions. Having interviewed elsewhere I found this a bit odd as I effectively spent 1 hour 15 mins on-site without ever speaking to anyone.
After doing the interview questions I then spoke to two of the lead core technology engineers and we had a discussion over my answers as well as my interests and more information about the role. Overall I felt we had a good discussion and I had struggled with a couple of questions but we had a chance to talk through them. In the end I was told that they only require one interview and I would receive feedback in a short time frame.
Weirdly I was in contact with their HR representative and managed to receive reimbursement for travel the following week. However, when I asked for some feedback/results of my interview I was told that they hadn't heard anything yet. It's now been over 5 weeks so I can only presume I was unsuccessful but I was hoping for some feedback and at the very least a formal declination for the interview.
