Interview
After submitting my application on Linkedin I heard back from a recruiter a few weeks later. I did a quick intro call with the recruiter. She set me up with an initial interview with the studio's art director. He went over the goals of the company and gave me an introduction to the project they were working on. We then went over my experience in the game industry. After that I was scheduled for several more interviews with the lead environment artists, the lead tech artists, and the studio manager. Going over my experience and discussing workflows and processes. After the interviews, I heard back from the recruiter a couple of weeks later updating me that they wanted to move forward with the position.

I interviewed at Electronic Arts (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
Short with recruiter who didn't know anything about the role. Felt like I had to explain my job for the most part instead of talking about the role. Could have spent more time researching beforehand than directly in the interview wasting both our times.
