The job was not what I was hired for
The job was not what I was hired for
Some cool people and presentations, and good benefits.
I ended up working on areas I was not as comfortable with and misjudged by the way I performed on them, even though I wasn't underperforming at any point. They also try to sell the "here we are all open for everybody, tell us if you want to switch areas" but when you tell them, they use it as a weapon to fire you in layoffs later on.
Stop idolizing Andrew Wilson so much. Ultimate Team is a feature gamers hate, even if it makes you money.
And look more into what your own internal teams are doing, because there is a lot of duplicate engineering effort going on.

Software Engineer
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.
