Interview
Electronic Arts had come to our institute through our internship cell. There was initially an aptitude test followed by a technical test. The shortlisted candidates were put through one round of technical interview. And further, there was one round of HR interview. Naturally, whoever remained at the end of this process was offered the internship.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you buy pirated games from Electronic Arts?
I should have expected this, but frankly, I was caught unaware as this was a technical interview.
The interview was quite difficult and technical from the very beginning. They started with intro questions about data structures and then proceeded with more difficult conceptual questions. The total interview was about an hour.

Interview
I applied to EA from Campus Placements
Round 1 : Online Assessment which is different for every participant.
Round 2 : Technical interview that asks about projects, pseudocodes, etc
Round 3 : HR interview
Unfortunately, my experience with the technical interview was disappointing. The interviewer came across as dismissive and abrupt, showing little regard for basic professional courtesy. There was minimal engagement or feedback throughout the conversation, and the call was ended abruptly without any closing remarks or a chance to ask follow-up questions. This left a negative impression and reflected poorly on the company’s interview process.
