I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (Burnaby, BC)
Interview
Had a recruiter bring me a position at EA and presented me for it. The process was very quick, which may have been down to them being very desperate to fill this position.
Started off with a ~30 minute phone interview with the manager. Mostly discussing technical background and soft skill type stuff as well as what the role involved. Seemed pretty much like just to check if I actually wanted this position and would be ok with what it entailed.
Very quickly set up an in-person interview within the next couple days. It was scheduled to be about 4 hours long. Started off with a 2-hour long coding task to evaluate skill/knowledge with html/css/js. Had a short break while the 2 interviewers reviewed the task and then came back for about 45 minutes of technical and background questions.
Was supposed to meet with the manager again for 30 minutes of in-person but this was cancelled as he was satisfied with just the phone conversation.
Overall, fairly easy as long as you're keeping up with what current technologies and concepts are in the front-end world.

Interview
I recently went through the interview process for a SE II role at EA (Madrid), and overall it was a very positive experience. The process was very well structured, consisted of several rounds, and each step was clearly explained in advance.
I also really enjoyed each conversation with the interviewers, who were professional, engaging, and made the experience feel very comfortable.
A special mention to my recruiter, A. Amador, who was extremely supportive and responsive throughout the entire process.

Question 1
Tell me about the most challenging project you’ve worked on
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (Vancouver, BC) in Apr 2024
Interview
Completed 4 rounds of interviews (total of 4 hours) over a month. Two technical, one cultural, and one ‘getting to know you’. Everyone conducting the interviews was friendly but unfortunately I was never contacted again after the process and all my email follow ups were ignored. I was not expecting an offer, but to commit so many hours of time to a company and then be ignored is extremely unprofessional. It takes 10 minutes to write up a rejection letter.
