I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Creative Assembly in July 2017
Interview
I applied online to a Game Designer position, and they contacted me after a few days. They sent me a design test that I had to send back completed in a week.
The test wasn't easy, but it also wasn't very complicated, and it was related to the Total War franchise and some of the games of the saga. Because of being a strategy-game-based company, the questions were about situations and problems you can find in a strategy-game like a Total War. Once I completed it, I sent it back to them and I received a response in a week time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Pros and cons of positive and negative rubber-banding techniques used in strategy-games.
Several questions about the game they were working on. Did a test beforehand and also a few calls. Not as long a process as other places thankfully. Was a good interview process
I applied online. I interviewed at Creative Assembly in Aug 2022
Interview
Nice process during the designing test. Hard bunch of questions, but they give you enough time and resources to answer. They expect you to know a lot about their games and tweak their own design decisions as part of the interview.

Question 1
What core mechanics of a Total War would you eliminate?
Design a new core mechanic for a Total War of your choice. How does that affect other teams during production?
