Some brilliant people work at EA, it's great to learn from them. There's a good level of responsibility, even when just starting out. There are good opportunities to take on new and challenging tasks.
Work-life balance is up to you to try to maintain. Some people will always work more. Be sure to guard your time. You have to be pretty proactive about career development and promotions, always pushing for official recognition (even though they do a good job of calling out good work that you've done).
Take a stand and say something definitive, so that we can better align what we try to do daily with concrete goals and feel empowered enough to change things.
Phone interviewed by recruitment manager. After a 4-week-long wait, I was invited to do a programming test at home. After another 4-week-long wait, I was rejected.
The recruiter reached out to me over LinkedIn. There was an initial call with the recruiter to assess background, followed by two technical online phone interviews. Both interviewers were pleasant and encouraging. They said HR would be in contact.
I completed a technical interview via phone with 7 engineers. After I passed that interview, I was flown in for an all-day on-site interview with 13 different people. After that, I received a verbal offer, with a written offer coming 3 months later,
