Interview
The interview process was fairly smooth. I applied around late Jan/early Feb of 2025 and interviewed virtually around March 2025. I interviewed across multiple studios. My interviewers were all pleasant and friendly. It was roughly a 45 minute interview and the questions were standard. The interviewers asked me to share some of my work and tell them more of myself and my experiences. In the end, there was an opportunity for a Q and A. I got an offer shortly after.
