I applied for a position with Rockstar through Glassdoor, and was eventually contacted by a recruiter after over a month. Once communication started, the recruiter was great about scheduling and answering emails with me. The first round was a phone conversation with the recruiter, where we discussed the position and company. I was impressed that the recruiter was very forthcoming about the industry "crunch" that Rockstar has been associated with, and discussed how the company was hoping to curb it in the future. Second round was a take-home, timed coding challenge on Codility. The questions were very straight-forward, not very difficult. Definitely suitable as a "prove you're not inept" first step. Again, the recruiter was great about communication with this step, emailing to confirm I received the challenge, and was quick to follow-up after I completed the challenge over the weekend. The problem began after scheduling a 30-45 minute phone interview with a few members of the actual team. The recruiter again followed up to prep me; he provided a list of potential topics (very standard list: C#/.Net, algorithms, data structures, etc.), and then stressed that while I may receive a few questions from those topics, the main gauge for the interview would be "problem-solving," and that the team is mostly interested in how my thought-process works. When the time for the phone interview came the following day, the Rockstar employees called me 5 minutes late, spent about 15 minutes going through my resume experience, and then spent the last 10 minutes rushing through a deep-dive of C# questions like "What's the difference between X and Y? Okay, but what does that mean? How about C; how does C work?" before ending the phone call early. After that, I had radio silence for over a week. I emailed the recruiter after a full week, but received no response. After a week and a half, the recruiter finally called to say that it was a pass from the team. He provided feedback that the team was not impressed with my C# knowledge, but that I was welcome to interview again in the future once I address their feedback. Overall, this phone interview felt unfair, because it was not the interview I was told to prepare for. I provided that feedback to the recruiter as well, and he seemed surprised that I was not asked any problem-solving questions. He suspects that there may have been changes to the interview script that he should follow-up on. It's really unfortunate that what started as a really great experience ended up feeling very unfair and rushed. Interviewers beware.
