I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Electronic Arts in Dec 2011
Interview
First Step in the interview process was a technical assessment. Interviewer presented a theoretical scenario that occurred in the current product and them asked me to identify how I would go about assigning a team to solve the problem. Seemed like he was looking for my ability to troubleshoot and then assign people on the team based on their skills. Then, this was followed by a group interview that focused more on project management and assignment questions. This part was particularly challenging as the group was taking a more hostile approach, especially in terms of demeanor and explaining that the average working hours are not 40 but 50 hours. All in all, the process was ok, but I think there was too much emphasis on the fact that the position required a substantial amount of extra time per week. My analysis of the work environment: high pressure, but I knew that going in, but the pressure applied during the interview prevented me from asking about the importance of work-life balance.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What metrics do you use to evaluate your team members performance in an agile environment?
Initial interview via a phone call which was followed by 3 video calls. Pretty standard interview process, although, not very technical. Decided against the offer due to salary being lower than expectation.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Electronic Arts
Interview
The interview process began with a screen interview with a very helpful recruiter whose guidance made it a positive experience.
I had two panel interviews with pairs of interviewers with the second more technically oriented. Finally, I met with an executive for the last round. Everyone I met made it a positive and informative experience. The hiring manager made additional efforts to ensure expectations were aligned and the position was appropriate. I was very impressed.
