I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (New York, NY) in Oct 2015
Interview
Applied through University Career Site. Got a reply within 2 weeks for a 45 min technical phone screen interview. There were 2 coding questions, 1 based on BST and 1 based on Large File IO. Cannot disclose the exact questions as they make you sign an NDA.
Was rejected 2 days after the interview as I messed up the File IO based question
I applied online. I interviewed at Electronic Arts in Mar 2026
Interview
I recently went through the interview process for a SE II role at EA (Madrid), and overall it was a very positive experience. The process was very well structured, consisted of several rounds, and each step was clearly explained in advance.
I also really enjoyed each conversation with the interviewers, who were professional, engaging, and made the experience feel very comfortable.
A special mention to my recruiter, A. Amador, who was extremely supportive and responsive throughout the entire process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about the most challenging project you’ve worked on
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (Vancouver, BC) in Apr 2024
Interview
Completed 4 rounds of interviews (total of 4 hours) over a month. Two technical, one cultural, and one ‘getting to know you’. Everyone conducting the interviews was friendly but unfortunately I was never contacted again after the process and all my email follow ups were ignored. I was not expecting an offer, but to commit so many hours of time to a company and then be ignored is extremely unprofessional. It takes 10 minutes to write up a rejection letter.
