Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Describe project experience 2. What are some advantages of C++ 3. Design a checkers program
Two rounds, one technical, one behavioral. The technical was a LeetCode easy with a senior software engineer, and the behavioral was with the hiring manager. I think I messed up the behavioral because the technical section was pretty easy, but then again, probably everyone will get it. You have to stand out in the behavioral.

Interview
I only completed the phone screening stage of the interview process. The recruiter was friendly and professional. The questions were fairly basic they asked about my skills, why I want to work at EA, and why I think I’d be a good candidate for the role. Overall, it was a straightforward and comfortable experience with no technical questions at this stage.
