I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Electronic Arts in Dec 2011
Interview
It is a 30 minutes on campus interview. The interviewer is pretty nice and asked some basic background questions and went through my resume. Then he asked me to write a little program to solve a problem. The question is not hard. However I got a little nervous and didn't come up with the solution immediately.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Came up with a program to take a string and printed the characters that appear more than once in the exact order as they are in the original string.
My experience with the initial recruiter screening was disappointing. The interviewer seemed disengaged, barely made eye contact, and treated the screening as a perfunctory task, wrapping it up in just 10 minutes. Despite my thorough preparation and follow-up questions, the conversation felt dismissive rather than professional.
I applied online. I interviewed at Electronic Arts in Mar 2026
Interview
The process was professional and moved at a great pace. It started with a recruiter screen, followed by a meeting with the hiring manager, and concluded with three panel interviews. Each conversation felt like a genuine peer-to-peer discussion about building high-performance platforms. The recruitment team was very communicative and open throughout the negotiation. Overall, a very positive experience.
