Great Friends Made and Great Culture. When laid off, I was treated very respectfully. They offered options for transfer and job-finding opportunities.
The leadership during my period was a bit unfocused.
Do not allow one egomaniac to destroy a studio because he is charismatic. If they do not produce results, quick action needs to be taken. By that, I don't mean move their entire family to another country and then allow them to run away, letting their Team Leads deliver the bad news.
First phase: 15-minute phone screening interview (basic questions about yourself and salary expectations). Second phase: 1.5-hour onsite interview (more in-depth talk about the product, the company, and culture).
It took two weeks. First was the telephonic round: screening, introduction, experience, and skills. The second was the video interview with two people from EA. It was a technical plus situational judgmental interview.
The interview is relatively short and focused on your ability to speak English and describe occurrences in video games, mainly bugs. They generally looked to see how serious I was and if I only wanted a job in order to 'get paid to play games'.
