Game Analytics and Procedural Content Generation Questions for a Gaming Company
I will soon be interviewing at CZ, a large company which develops casual mobile games in several genres, including slots, match-three, and word puzzles. The team I'm interviewing with is focused on procedural content generation and analytics/data science infrastructure.
In pre-interview emails, the recruiter suggested I play some of CZ's games. I did so. Here are my thoughts and impressions.
For purposes of professional courtesy, I have changed the name of the company and all games discussed in this article. Unfortunately, preserving CZ’s anonymity also means I cannot show screenshots.
I originally had another section in this post discussing ad placement and characteristics, but I removed it once I understood that the "analytics" side of this team is focused more on content analysis than ad performance. Email me if you want it.
