I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (Ottawa, ON) in Mar 2022
Interview
Recruiter reached out, had two half hour interviews with different recruiters. Then got an email for a technical assessment, and got immediate feedback that I had done great, apparently better than anyone in years according to the recruiters. Then had a technical interview with a Software Architect, which was fairly easy. Got almost immediate feedback that I had passed to the next round, but this was verbal feedback, I never got the invite for the next interview. When it was almost time for the next interview, I got a message saying that the team had decided to not proceed because I had put negative comments in the assessment's feedback section. This was a LMAO moment, it has to be the most childish reason I've received in my career. Who wants to work in a company that reacts vindictively to constructive criticism?

I applied online. I interviewed at Electronic Arts
Interview
The process started with an initial call from HR where we discussed my background, interest in EA, and general fit for the role. After that, I had a technical phone interview that focused on coding challenges, system design, and problem-solving.
Once I passed that stage, I was invited to a virtual interview loop with several team members, including senior developers and a hiring manager. Each session explored different aspects—technical depth, code review, design thinking, and collaboration.
They also assessed how I approach real-world development scenarios and how I communicate in a team setting. The final step was a conversation with the team lead, which centered more on vision, culture, and expectations. Overall, it was a thorough but engaging process.

Question 1
One question that stood out was when they asked how I approach debugging a complex issue in a live environment. They wanted to understand my process, how I prioritize under pressure, and how I communicate with the team during high-stakes situations.
