I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at TerraZero Technologies (New York, NY) in Oct 2022
Interview
Good interview process. Employees seem earnest and genuine. Company seems to have good structure. They answered my question and if the didn't know they found the answers for me.
I went through 2 interviews, a screening interview and a interview with the studio coordinators and the team.
The hiring terms were less than desirable. They were offering 3 days of PTO for the 1st year, then 5 for the next, etc.... And offered no benefits at the time of the interview. Way too little for anyone who needs to support a family. You also had to complete a 30 day contract prior to any employment offer. This was non negotiable.
I replied attempting to negotiate terms to see what we could arrange and did not get a response. I inquired about where we stood and they said the offer still stands but did nothing to accommodate any of my concerns. So ultimately I had to say no.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TerraZero Technologies (Toronto, ON) in Mar 2022
Interview
Had 2 interviews back to back, they said it was great and my portfolio was great. The position was for a low poly 3D Artist, and the posting was posted in a forum for developers who make retro style games.
They told me, they'll send me the contract after I send my 3D models I made for previous projects (a red flag, no company will ask you to send the 3D models directly in the hiring process, screenshots are sufficient)
After being ghosted, they told me the entire 3D Artist team thought my models were "too low poly" for the low poly position, despite my models being high poly.
Considering those models were for another project, and I sent them high poly models as well, it was clear they did not know 3D modeling themselves.
When asked a few months later, was given a bot response, that the position was filled, but they constantly have linkedin job postings implying they have high turnover.
My own contacts in the company talk about no sporadic work despite advertising it being fulltime.
