Process
Recruiter reached out via email to share my resume. I also had several mobile and video calls before the interview commenced with EA. There were three levels of interviews. Level 1 involved high-level questions with the hiring manager in a MS Teams video call. Level 2 was also a Teams video call with architects, and the final one was with higher management.
