I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (Emeryville, CA) in May 2013
Interview
I had a phone interview with EA maxis at Emeryville for a software engineering intern position. The interviewer was a designer with past experience in gameplay and AI. He asked me questions on data structures especially, linked list and alternative for linkedlist in STL. The interview went awesome but I got a reject the next day saying that they already had someone in mind who has accepted the offer.
The interview was quite difficult and technical from the very beginning. They started with intro questions about data structures and then proceeded with more difficult conceptual questions. The total interview was about an hour.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (Hyderābād) in Oct 2025
Interview
I applied to EA from Campus Placements
Round 1 : Online Assessment which is different for every participant.
Round 2 : Technical interview that asks about projects, pseudocodes, etc
Round 3 : HR interview
Unfortunately, my experience with the technical interview was disappointing. The interviewer came across as dismissive and abrupt, showing little regard for basic professional courtesy. There was minimal engagement or feedback throughout the conversation, and the call was ended abruptly without any closing remarks or a chance to ask follow-up questions. This left a negative impression and reflected poorly on the company’s interview process.
