      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Naughty Dog (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2015

      Interview

      The interview was very hard. The first question was -> what is 2^4 and I'm like WTF. All questions were related to vector and algebra math. They even mocked me by saying "please look at your notes and answer from there" .. they knew I had my notes on me. WTF again. Very hard interview. Good luck!

      Simple, very direct and overall, it was all about proving that you are capable of grasping some mathematical concepts that are fundamental to program for a 3D environment. Furthermore, the interview is composed of two phone calls to ask technical questions.
