I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
Most of the interview process was conducted over the phone, then for final interviews I was flown out to the Vancouver (Burnaby) studio. It was a perfect experience, informative, well-organized, highly professional. The travel arrangements were organized in a timely manner, the accommodations provided were excellent. The teams met with were well-versed in everything EA and showed their passion for the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why take a step down in your career to come to EA?
Although the people I met along the way were lovely, this interview process ended in a disappointingly unprofessional manner. I came for three on-site interviews over the course of two months, and was asked to provide 5 references for an electronic reference check. I reached out to my network and they completed this online form. I subsequently received no further communication from the recruiter, despite reaching out and requesting an update. I understand we are all busy, and I've never written a negative review on glassdoor, but I felt this deserved to be addressed.

Interview
8 interviews talking over 12 hours dragged out over two plus months. It was all over the phone, felt totally impersonal, then an email to say no thanks! This was for a senior role, I'm glad I wasn't offered the job.
