Title: I just want to know if the following is pretty common thing in the gaming industry, being all new to the field I am not too sure. It would be nice to get feedback.<p>I recently applied for a junior software engineer position with Crytek(Germany).<p>As a first line of assessment they had given me a coding test to be completed within a week, the HR lady gets back to me after a day to tell me that I have only 2 days to complete it. No big deal, as I had already completed it the same day, I submit it.<p>Next after a couple of days, I was asked to attend an international telephonic interview with 4 senior programmers. Unfortunately for the interview, there were some technical problems from their side which resulted in a telephone call where I could hear their conversation but they could not hear me.<p>Shockingly, as they were trying to fix the problem for an hour without realizing that I could hear them, I overhead them making racial jokes&#x2F;taunts at me.<p>Without giving any further thought to what just had happened, I emailed the HR to request a re-schedule of the interview but I have still not received any reply. I am thinking they might have dropped my application for the fact that it maybe too much hard work for them to assess me.<p>what I would like to know from those of you who may have a lot of experience in the industry, is this something common, that one should expect when you interview in the gaming industry regardless of the company being an AAA games developer.<p>To be honest, I was shocked and appalled by the lack of professional courtesy.
