      Programmer Interview

      Sep 26, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Andover, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Rockstar Games (Andover, MA)

      Interview

      I applied at Rockstar New England as a Tools Programmer. This was probably the worst interview I've ever had. The Tools Programmer job listing says they prefer candidates who are strong in C++ OR C#; no problem because I'm strong in C++. I received an acceptance email to move onto round 1 of the interview process which is an online coding portion. The email from the HR rep states the following (truncated): "You should receive an email today or tomorrow with a link to the technical design challenge. Please choose the language that you are most familiar with." Okay cool, I get to choose my language. I take the test, read all the instructions carefully and realize the test is ONLY in C#. I burn a lot of time not because the challenges are hard, its because I'm trying to remember and figure out all the C# style of things (string.Length instead of string.size() type of thing). I ended up taking some less desirable design paths because of this too. I message the HR person back saying essentially (and in much nicer terms) "Why did you tell me to select the programming language of my choice, only to realize that its in C#". My response back, word for word, the entire email: "Thank you for your emails. C# is a requirement for this position. " So C# is required cool, but so is C++ according to the job listing and I was lied to saying I could choose my programming language of choice. Really dirty practices and no acknowledgement that she (HR lady) messed up on the original email.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Codility questions, pretty straight forward. String manipulation and combinations/permutations. A college algorithms class should be able to prepare you for it.
