I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (Melbourne) in Apr 2015
Interview
Submit the CV through their job site. The HR sent an assessment of two programming tests in the next day. One test in web/php programming, another one in C++ programming. They process the assessment pretty fast. After the assessment, there would be two groups of technical interviews, for your past project experience and technical skills. The technical interviewer are nice and friendly.

My experience with the initial recruiter screening was disappointing. The interviewer seemed disengaged, barely made eye contact, and treated the screening as a perfunctory task, wrapping it up in just 10 minutes. Despite my thorough preparation and follow-up questions, the conversation felt dismissive rather than professional.
I applied online. I interviewed at Electronic Arts in Mar 2026
Interview
The process was professional and moved at a great pace. It started with a recruiter screen, followed by a meeting with the hiring manager, and concluded with three panel interviews. Each conversation felt like a genuine peer-to-peer discussion about building high-performance platforms. The recruitment team was very communicative and open throughout the negotiation. Overall, a very positive experience.
