Interview Type: Internship

Result: No Response

Experience:

The candidate applied for a general software engineer internship online and was placed in a rendering position intern interview. There was no prior code assessment.

Round 1: Technical Interview
This was the first and final interview with a senior software engineer and a project manager from the Frostbite team in Orlando. The interview focused on discussing school projects from the candidate's resume, including a tech art project (performance debugging), a C++ project (without a game engine), and a WebGL project (computer graphics class).

Questions asked:

• "What is a virtual function in C++?"
• "What does the compiler do when it's compiling a virtual function?"
• Detailed resume questions: "What kind of tools do you use?", "What is the data structure of the project?", "How do you discover performance problems?"

The candidate felt the C++ problems were basic and didn't answer them perfectly.

Overall Experience: The experience was positive, and interviewers were welcoming and professional. However, the candidate did not receive a response.
