Fun while it lasted, but gets old fast
Fun while it lasted, but gets old fast
Can be a fun environment depending on the project, project team members, and team leader.
Diverse coworkers, good exposure to the industry with hands-on involvement in game development, and a solid teamwork-type atmosphere.
Competitive environment. Experience often dependent on team members and team leader. Difficult to get promoted. Somewhat overworked and underpaid. No leverage for employees because there is always a long line of replacements waiting to take your spot if you rock the boat. Rigid hierarchy of departmental management. Development personnel (sometimes understandably so) maintains distance from QA personnel.
Find better ways to promote within other areas of the company. There may be a lot of folks to weed out, but I think the QA staff has a lot to offer, and the QA experience is a good test to see how employees fit into the EA team as a whole (not just tech jobs).

I had a few interviews on Zoom about the position, my background, and my knowledge of the company. The whole process took from August, when I first applied through LinkedIn, to November, when I had the job offer.

Pleasant and simple interview to check that you know the company and a bit about the work in question that the interview is about. Some more specific questions on how to solve problems that may arise.

Very quick, easy, and well communicated. The process took less than a week. Everyone was friendly. It was almost entirely through e-mail, except for the Zoom interview. I felt as though communication was always open despite this.
