I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ubisoft (Pune) in Apr 2014
Interview
Fast response. Had applied in their portal. Qualified the written design test but messed up in the telephonic round. Time for the written test was 24 hrs. Telephonic round was tricky. Hard to concentrate on who was asking the questions. Was interviewed by a panel on 3. One was a foreigner. Within 7 days I got a mail which said my profile is on hold.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
how do you explain the developer the game mechanism of your game?
Horrible HR, sent me a google calendar invite without even contacting me before hand. During the meeting they were moving around the studio, losing connection, and I could hardly hear their voice. They don't respect the people they are interested in.
For a first interview with a HR person, it became a technical interview right away and they obviously didn't know what they were talking about but asking additional questions, without having a real understanding of what we were talking about.

Question 1
Technical questions, many of them, during the first HR interview
It was a brief chat to understand my level of game design and perception. We had a simple discussion on soft and hard currency. It was relatively a fun discussion overall

Question 1
What type of soft currency was used in your previous game?
I interviewed at Ubisoft (Newcastle upon Tyne, England)
Interview
it was slow, but easy in every aspect, don't be scared of their questions. Everyone who interviews is great at what they do. The recruiters are very slow at getting back to you.
