Unity3D Game Dev Interview

Interviewer: What is reflection and why would you use it?

Me: Gives overview of system and how I've used it in games before.

Interviewer: Sorry that was a trick question, Reflection is really dangerous and slow. You need to go back and learn the basics.

Me: ???...

A huge portion of Unity is built upon Reflection based systems, the entire Monobehaviour base relies on it. Their events system uses it, animation and timeline. I guess their team needs to go back to the drawing board.

How is this person a senior dev?

    Typical example how bad the whole IT sector is. Nearly all companies and employees are super bad in all aspects and especially quality.

    For example we are looking for a frontend js dev, non of the people appling even knew what is newly created and what is referenced. Or god forbid, trying to solve questions without jQuery... 😕

    And we are looking for seniors, most of them claim x years on angular etc.

    Reflection is slow and dangerous though. Why is it that in Unity it's used a lot? I've never used Unity.
