I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NCSOFT (Aliso Viejo, CA)
Interview
I received a phone call from HR to discuss the job, the studio, and my interest in coming in for an on-site interview. I was able to do the onsite interview just days after the initial phone call. The onsite consisted of lunch with the team, and multiple 30-45 min interviews with different disciplines on the team. Everyone was very friendly, so it made it for a more comfortable interview process.
