You're working at EA. That, in and of itself, is pretty cool. You have the chance of being on a good game.
There is little to no opportunity to grow. QA is always looked at first when cuts are being made. Management feels like their own little clique with their own inside jokes about the rest of us. There is little meaningful interaction with management. Management assures us that compensation is competitive with other companies, but it obviously isn't when people who have been here for years as regular full-time employees are making as much as or less than contract employees.
Management needs to understand that their employees aren't stupid. Many of our peers have moved on to other companies, whether it be from cutbacks or on their own due to the unfairness of the company. We know for a fact our compensation isn't competitive.
The first step is a phone call from HR. The second step was with an experienced ML team member. The EA team was more interested in large-scale platform experience. This round is about experience and personal background.
There was a 30-minute telephone screen, and after passing that, an online job interview with 5 team members was performed. An offer came one week later.
Had a phone call with the hiring manager. This was followed by another phone call with two software engineers. This was followed by an on-site day which had a test and interviews with other team members.
