Process
The interview process consists of a few one-on-one interviews.
The first interview was for around an hour and was completely technical. I was asked to write a few programs, then a few questions on C++, and Threads.
After the technical round, I was called for the manager round. The manager round consisted of questions on my current project and a few questions in C and debugging tools used.
The next round was the director round, which was very short with no technical questions.
The last round was the HR round, where we discussed the offer and the policies of the company were explained by the HR.

Electronic Arts Work Experiences
- 5.0An awesome company!Software Engineer II • Current EmployeeMadrid, SpainApril 14, 2021Pros: The company cares about you and your family very much. You have a lot of benefits which are not included in your salary, but they are a big plus to it. Work-life balance is correct, at least in my department and project. I'm very happy to work in this company, as they treat you as a person, not as a number.Cons: Well, maybe the salary is not so high and competitive as in other companies, but the benefits and work/life balance are a huge thing to take into consideration.
- 3.0Salary for a Software Engineer IISoftware Engineer II • Current EmployeeBurnaby, British Columbia, CanadaDecember 29, 2022Pros: Great treatment as a person via benefits and the culture. Very accommodating.Cons: Leadership is lacking. Software Development culture is sorely lacking.
- 4.0Above average game studioSoftware Engineer II • Former EmployeeLos Angeles, California, United StatesJuly 13, 2011Pros: Great managers, opportunity to work on AAA products. Lots of interesting work and solid support systems.Cons: It's easy to get lost in the masses and end up being treated like a dispensable commodity. I once heard a Senior Development Director say something like the following: "Unreal Engineers are a dime a dozen." What he meant was that qualified gaming engineers with Unreal experience were easy to find and hire. This wasn't supported by the amount of time and effort it took them to hire qualified Unreal engineers. My impression was that he didn't see the value of the engineers already on staff; he saw them as a commodity to be bought and discarded when he no longer had a use for them.
