Long time ago, when I had just arrived in the US and was looking for a job, EA Sports contacted me and arranged an on-site test. The test was really hard; it had 10 questions and, as I was not very experienced in programming, I was only more or less confident I had answered 6 out of 10 correctly and felt really bad. I thought: “They will not hire me,” so I asked the recruiter to give me a short tour. He was a little surprised but gave me the tour.
Later on, they contacted me trying to arrange a second round; they were apparently very impressed by my test. Apparently, not too many were even able to answer 6 questions. But I had already accepted the offer from Technicolor. Who knows if Technicolor had been a little slower and EA Sports a little faster, my game development career would have started much earlier.
