[Interview] [Position: H5 Front-End Web Game Developer] [Written Test] [Not Hired] [7-Day Notice]

* Candidates with web front-end experience should be a good fit. This position is suitable for people who have studied and explored JavaScript syntax in depth and have memorized CSS thoroughly.

* When evaluating teamwork, they place importance on the size of the applicant’s previous companies and the scale of the projects they participated in, but delve less into abilities such as communication across different roles and exposure to various technical domains.

* The salary is paid over 16 months, but the bonus in the compensation structure is based on the base salary and has a relatively large range of fluctuation, so you can expect the base-salary proportion not to look particularly good.

* The written test consists entirely of handwritten code and short-answer questions, and candidates are required not to use a computer or phone, which feels somewhat pointless.

More web-oriented than game-oriented

Overall interview process:

[HR] (Nearly 1 hour)

1. Past experience > information about previous companies > position and compensation > team > reason for leaving, etc.

2. Current company situation > salary calculation method and related benefits > position overview > relevant regulations, etc.

3. Expected salary

4. Candidate’s questions

[Written Test] (Nearly 1 hour)

1. It mainly tests the fundamentals of the JavaScript language used in web front-end development, with no connection to game development or practical applications.

2. The questions are generally about JavaScript fundamentals and characteristics, as well as basic algorithms.

3. It is entirely handwritten, and candidates are required not to use a computer or phone.

[Technical Manager] (Nearly 1 hour)

1. Self-introduction > past experience > technologies used in the past.

2. Explain the logic and concepts behind the answers to the written-test questions.

3. Current company situation > current team situation (projects and technologies used)

4. Describe career and learning experiences > present/explain the portfolio

5. Personality-test questions and answers

6. Candidate’s questions

Suggestions:

1. Although the position is listed as game development, based on the written-test questions and the future development direction, the work still appears to focus primarily on web front-end technologies.

2. When evaluating teamwork abilities, they place importance on the size of the applicant’s previous companies and the scale of the projects they participated in, but delve less into abilities such as communication across different roles and exposure to various technical domains.

3. The overall interview process takes quite a lot of time, and talking for that long can be tiring. If there are topics you want to discuss, prepare them in advance to avoid forgetting them.

4. According to the compensation structure, the bonus has a relatively wide range of fluctuation, so the base salary probably will not be particularly attractive. It is not recommended to set expectations based on general market standards.

Overall impression:

I personally lean toward game development. I rarely write web applications and have not practiced coding problems, so I answered quite a few questions incorrectly, and my understanding did not always align with theirs.

However, candidates with web front-end experience should be a good fit for this position. It is suitable for people with a thorough understanding of JavaScript, the ability to handwrite code and perform calculations on paper, and CSS memorized thoroughly.
