Question 1
Was asked to design a game with the recruiters and then to show basic programming skills through Unity.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pocket Gems (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2023
Interview
Phone screen, take home assessment, panel interview. The take home assessment had me analyze the data, then make a recommendation on which segment of the market to target for a new paid feature. The hiring manager said there were no wrong answers, but when asked why I did not move forward, they told me my analysis was incorrect.
