The interview process was fully remote and consisted of 3 stages, plus an initial chat with my recruiter, Alberto. I applied through the EA careers page. The process took about 2 months from the first interview to the offer. While it was long, the recruiter was very responsive to my emails about updates, so I was kept in the loop throughout.

The first stage was an interview with the technical lead, which focused on my experience, previous projects, etc.

The second stage consisted of a take-home coding assignment and 3 follow-up interviews:

• A code-reading and technical interview, reviewing the code I had written and live adding to that code.
• Interviews with designers where I had to propose a solution to a design challenge.

The last stage was a culture-fit chat.

All of the interviews were very pleasant. Everyone was encouraging, and all the questions made sense for my experience and the position I was interviewing for. They also related to the game I would be working on.

They did not focus on minute coding details but tested overall logic and code structure knowledge. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience, even if a tad stressful due to how long the process took.
