Absolutely Horrible Experience:
I applied for Gameplay Programmer role and emailed them after seeing the posting on their website. I got a return email where I was asked to complete a programming test that included programming questions and a Unity project with timeline of 2 weeks.
After submitting, I received no response from them. I had to follow up thrice to finally get a response. I received a generic email from someone S. K. (I'm 100% sure it's an AI-generated response) saying that they had no positions available for the role.
It'd have been far more respectful & considerate to inform that the role was no longer active before they sent out such tests. Instead, I wasted two weeks working on a test for a position that wasn’t even available. The lack of transparency and communication is incredibly unprofessional.
In my follow-up emails, I tried to ask for clarification and feedback, but after an initial apology (which again was 100% AI generated), I completely got ghosted. They have no respect for time and effort.
Don't bother doing their test until you confirm the position is open.
