I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (Bucharest, Bucuresti) in May 2021
Interview
After applying, had to take a technical test to solve some tasks (I had to write code for some methods etc.)
After passing that test, had 3 interviews before being accepted:
1. HR - discussion about skills, including English language test
2. Technical interview with future colleagues to test your knowledge
3. Final interview with manager
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In the first technical test I had to write some methods to solve some problems or to modify some existing ones. At the second technical interview they asked me both theoretical and practical questions, e.g.: what is the parent class of all classes? And asked me to write some code.
Two rounds, one technical, one behavioral. The technical was a LeetCode easy with a senior software engineer, and the behavioral was with the hiring manager. I think I messed up the behavioral because the technical section was pretty easy, but then again, probably everyone will get it. You have to stand out in the behavioral.

I applied online. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
I only completed the phone screening stage of the interview process. The recruiter was friendly and professional. The questions were fairly basic they asked about my skills, why I want to work at EA, and why I think I’d be a good candidate for the role. Overall, it was a straightforward and comfortable experience with no technical questions at this stage.
