I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (Austin, TX) in Mar 2018
Interview
The process was straightforward, the recruiter was very nice and responsive. The recruiter reached out to me via email to schedule a 15-min interview. This interview was mostly behavioral and get-to-know-me. The recruiter then scheduled a 1-hour phone interview with an actual software engineer. For this interview, the engineer asked about my experience and projects, then we proceeded to a coding challenge. He invited me to codeshare and code the requirements. Overall, the engineer guided me through the challenge, especially when I had trouble understanding the question. Finally, a general email from EA came stating that they will move forward with my application.

Question 1
Given the input lines, print them backwards on an 80 column screen.
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.

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.
