I applied online via the EA website. About a week later, I got an email requesting a phone interview. In that interview with a hiring manager, we discussed my educational, career, and research history; mostly background stuff, very light. The hiring manager was very kind and responsive.

Following that, about a week later, I had a technical phone interview where I coded in a shared document. General questions related to different data types, followed by an implementation of a C++ data type conversion algorithm. It wasn't too challenging, and the interviewer walked me through a couple critiques and the problem itself.

A couple of weeks passed without response, but fortunately, it ended with a request for an on-site interview. I met with them a couple of days later. I had a series of interviews with engineers that I would be working with, both technical and personality interviews, lasting about 5-6 hours in all. I coded on a whiteboard in response to general algorithm questions, mostly pseudocode. Nothing too difficult, and all very interesting and honestly kind of fun. Interviewers were kind and assisted in guiding towards the right solution.

A couple of days later, I got an offer and accepted.

(Phone interview) Signed an NDA, so no specifics, but I was asked about how I would convert from one data type to another data type efficiently.

(On-site interview) Signed an NDA, so no specifics, but I was asked about how I would implement a couple of algorithms that acted on various C++ data types. Also, general algorithm problems related to social media tasks.
