I applied online. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (London, England) in Feb 2022
Interview
Everybody I met was friendly and has some interesting insights on their product areas. I went through two processes simultaneously which was helpful for comparing. The recruiter was very personable and showed a genuine interest. The concerns I had were more around large corporate procedures and some of the more informal whispers that you hear in the industry around American corporates

Question 1
Mostly for examples of how my experiences could help them address challenges

Interview
I applied online. He immediately asked me about a 3 month gap on my resume. I reply that my previous company shut down and had to lay off our entire team. He pretty much says “that doesn’t look good for you” and the rest of the interview was him talking about himself. He ended it by saying if I don’t hear back from in a week to email him. So lo and behold I haven’t heard back from him in a week and I reach out and he’s ghosted me. Whomp whomp

Very pleasant, two-way conversation. I was asked about my experience, salary expectations and game requirements. I was told they need a few days to come back to me and I’n sure they will - they ware so professional!!!
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (Vancouver, BC) in Apr 2023
Interview
100% virtual process beginning with screening with an HR rep based in a different city. Then a talent specialist in a different city again arranges your interview through an interview portal 'EA Sidekick'. Then you meet meet with who you are reporting to. Pretty smooth process but communication throughout could improve. I guess with a company this big it's kind of expected though.

Question 1
They didn't ask what my salary expectations were but instead provided a range and asked if it was suitable. Fantastic.
