Associate Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

My process was a little weird, since I was redirected from another process that also took place with Electronic Arts (for a .NET Software Engineer - Full Stack role that didn't turn out).

Regarding the ASE role, since I had already been contacted in an initial call with RRHH for the previous process, I didn't have that step and directly had an initial talk with the Technical Director and two members of the team. A couple of days later, I was contacted again in order to have a technical interview the next week, with the same members of the team.

The technical test went pretty well, so that same afternoon they sent me an email asking if I had other offers on the table.

In another couple of days, I had a short talk with RRHH during which they made me an offer. At the end of that same week, I had a Zoom meeting where we reviewed the offer details, and as a final (and a little stressful) stage, they asked me to submit five references from people who had worked with me in the past, as a final requirement to be able to sign the offer and proceed with the hiring process.

Questions

In the initial interview, they asked me behavioral questions (what would I do if asked to work overtime, or if a superior told me that the code I was trying to submit wasn't good enough), and also scarce technical questions (what is a stack overflow, the difference between a virtual and an abstract class, and the main difference between C++ and C#).

The technical interview consisted of fixing localization bugs present in code they shared at that moment.
