The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Junkfish (Brighton, England) in Apr 2023
Interview
I had an initial screening interview followed by a second more in depth interview that delved deeper into my personal projects and history in Game Design. I had a great time interviewing and felt very friendly and casual. I was told to reach out by the end of the following week if I had not heard anything after both interviews as I was told the company had an anti ghosting policy, I was contacted very quickly after the first however after the second interview I did have to reach out as I hadn't heard anything. when I did hear back I received nothing but positive feedback in regards to my interviews and portfolios and was informed that I was shortlisted for the position and that it was up to HR to decide a candidate among those shortlisted. Two more weeks went by without any further updates until I received a short email stating I had not made the shortlist for the next phase (which was slightly confusing as I had been told there were no more phases and it was down to HR Choosing a candidate from a shortlist that I was told I was a part of) I have reached out for further feedback to gain some insight as to why this decision was made and hopefully I will be able to use that to better myself moving forward.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Junkfish (Singapore) in June 2022
Interview
The notification happened within a week after submission, but the entire process took more than a month. There are two interviews. The first interview will be their Producer and Head of Production that are based in Dundee. The second interview will be the Head of Production, Product Manager and Founder, which the other two are based in Singapore.
The questions asked by them are rather comprehensive and they do fully utilised the time allocated for you, which is 1hr. They asked questions not just about your skillsets, experience, but also your interpersonal and intrapersonal skills, and how your react towards situations. Which I can say is way far better than most of the local startups here, which the questions asked are rather shallow and don't really explore the person as a whole. Here they want to know you more in depth as a person, beyond just work. The Head of Production even informed you what is the next step of process, and what you should do if you aren't contacted. Which this is highly sought of, and most companies missed out on. Is expectation management, and forward thinking. More Singapore companies should learn from them.
