Associate Software Engineer Co-op Interview Experience

Process
I had an initial 20-minute phone interview with an HR person, followed by a roughly 60-minute phone interview with the person I'd be working with. There was about a 1-month period between my initial HR interview and the second interview, during which I had no contact with EA. I assumed that I wasn't a good fit for the role.

Pretty Cool Place to Work
Associate Software Engineer Co-op • Former Employee
Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada
October 12, 2017
Pros: It has great perks (free and/or cheap games, cool merchandise, relocation stipends) and you have flexibility with your hours.
For co-op students, EA has several "fun" events that you can attend with other co-op students if you are into that sort of thing. I'm personally not, but to each their own.
From my experience, they appreciate it when you have an opinion and speak up when you think there are better ways to move forward.
Cons: I found at times that my work could get a bit repetitive and not particularly challenging, but that may depend on the exact team that you are working for. This wasn't limited to just me as a co-op student, but most of my team, as it was just the nature of what we were working on while I was there.
