I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (Vancouver, BC) in Jan 2019
Interview
3 rounds of interviews, 1 screening call 1 casual coffee 1 full day interview. full day interview was with three different groups from different layers within the fifa team. Software Engineers, data scientists and management. Process was smooth and the decision came fairly quickly
Slow start, finished too quickly. After not hearing back at all for two weeks on a position, the process which followed felt rushed, almost, as if the two weeks leading up had been my fault somehow.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (Bucharest, Bucuresti) in Jun 2021

The HR department reached out to me two weeks after applying. An online meet via zoom was scheduled a week later. Three weeks after the interview I was called to get a feedback.

Question 1
The interview was mostly based on questions related to decision-making in different scenarios.
For example, what would you do if there's a patch going out at 4 pm and one of your colleagues decides that one of the features in the patch must suffer some modifications? You have to explain your decisions and think about other processes involved such as the QV of a feature.
