I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (Burnaby, BC) in Mar 2017
Interview
The recruiter reached out to me over Linkedin.
Initial call with the recruiter to access background, and then two technical online phone interviews. Both interviewers were pleasant and encouraging. They said HR would be in contact. There was no follow up from HR.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the maximum number of Friday the 13ths in any given year?
My experience with the initial recruiter screening was disappointing. The interviewer seemed disengaged, barely made eye contact, and treated the screening as a perfunctory task, wrapping it up in just 10 minutes. Despite my thorough preparation and follow-up questions, the conversation felt dismissive rather than professional.
I applied online. I interviewed at Electronic Arts in Mar 2026
Interview
The process was professional and moved at a great pace. It started with a recruiter screen, followed by a meeting with the hiring manager, and concluded with three panel interviews. Each conversation felt like a genuine peer-to-peer discussion about building high-performance platforms. The recruitment team was very communicative and open throughout the negotiation. Overall, a very positive experience.
