Process
There were only 2 rounds. The first was with the manager, more of a behavioral round, and the second was with an engineer about technical questions. There were no coding questions involved, as they don't like to do it.
Questions
- Behavioral questions
- General web dev questions, how would you design an API, etc.

Electronic Arts isn't about any way you want to play
Software Engineering • Former Employee
Playa del Rey, California, United States
April 12, 2009
Pros: There aren't many reasons to work at Electronic Arts because they use employees and don't give them the respect they deserve.
Electronic Arts does not reward employees for working overtime. In fact, they squeeze every bit of energy from employees to produce horribly designed games, which are now being sold for way more than they are worth.
Cons: They have been described above. Please keep these points in mind when applying for the biggest game publisher on Earth. It's not all that it's cracked up to be.
