I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Wargaming (Guildford, Inglaterra) in Jan 2020
Interview
I applied online and was given an assignment to complete the following day. The assignment was a 2D game and i was asked to implement features to it. The actual description of the assignment were two very short sentences that said;
- "Make changes to impress us"
- "Take however much time on it that you feel comfortable spending to produce something that demonstrates your skills."
The recommended time to complete this assignment was 2 weeks.
I responded back to the email explaining that i have already demonstrated my skills with the several projects available on my portfolio that i sent with my application, and for this reason i would not be completing a 2 week assignment to further demonstrate my skills. However, I mentioned that i would be more than happy to complete another exercise to test my knowledge pertaining to the language they use (C++) and programming skills in general.
The Associate Recruiter i was dealing with disagreed, and said that my portfolio DOES NOT demonstrate my skills (Gameplay Skills in particular), because the projects which showcase my gameplay skills were created using C# and not C++. The recruiter decided to not proceed with my application.
I applied online. I interviewed at Wargaming (New York, NY)
Interview
Spoke to internal recruitment and determined my skills were a perfect match for the position.
Got told there was a technical test I needed to take online which was fine.
Technical test had absolutely no relevance at all for the job that I was interviewing for. Job was for a Linux Systems Administrator position but the technical test consisted of computer science level algorithmic questions.
Sent them feedback about the test. Never heard back.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Wargaming in Sep 2019
Interview
Programming test, phone screen and then personal interview. Interviews were with 6 different people on 6 different positions. Everybody asked questions related to his field. All interviewers were very nice and they were mostly interested in the way how interviewee is thinking about a problem rather than expecting some exact answer.
