I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at 5th Planet Games
Interview
They asked the basic HR questions and a lot of questions about video games and the industry. They were mainly asking me questions about my experience with video games and had I ever worked in the industry before. They asked some questions about my experience with computer languages but I did not have any and it was not an issue.

Everyone was friendly and easy going during the process. The entire process was lengthy but that can be expected when hiring for certain positions.
