Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Pocket Gems in Nov 2020
Interview
Nice people, great interviews. The hardest part was an interview with two parts (one creative, one technical). The technical part was within Unity, and while I thought I did very well I did not end up getting the offer (I was told the technical part was where I was weakest). Despite that, was a smooth and nice process.
