Producing lots of mediocre results that look good is the only way to succeed at EA. Just like their games
Producing lots of mediocre results that look good is the only way to succeed at EA. Just like their games
Easy to produce work good enough to keep your job.
Lack of promotion opportunities Resistant to effective change Superficial adherence to core values Excessive politics Rampant mediocrity Too many managers, few leaders
Focus on productivity. Understand value that cannot be measured. Seek the problems in plain sight and resolve them. Value passion for excellence over passion for games. Minimize waste and politics.

A first screening with the recruiter to talk about the position. An interview with the software engineering lead, and then three more rounds of interviews. One of them was "culture add" and then two technical interviews, which were pretty similar.
