I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (Maitland, FL) in Sept 2011
Interview
I was referred to EA by a friend who worked there. My initial talk was with his current manager on the phone. I took a trip to FL and had an in-person interview there with a manager. While there I took their skills test. A few days later I had a follow-up interview with team members in Canada. I was told I was the first to interview for the position and they took several weeks to make a decision.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
During my in-person interview I was asked to write a few versions of a string-copy function, and we also walked through how to construct a garbage collector. The skills test is confidential, but prospective employees should be aware of a variety of topics from memory, to debugging, to AI concepts. Not all questions need to be answered in the allotted time, but having some knowledge in as many categories as possible and solid knowledge is a few should get you through depending on your level of entry.
I applied online. I interviewed at Electronic Arts in Mar 2026
Interview
I recently went through the interview process for a SE II role at EA (Madrid), and overall it was a very positive experience. The process was very well structured, consisted of several rounds, and each step was clearly explained in advance.
I also really enjoyed each conversation with the interviewers, who were professional, engaging, and made the experience feel very comfortable.
A special mention to my recruiter, A. Amador, who was extremely supportive and responsive throughout the entire process.

Question 1
Tell me about the most challenging project you’ve worked on
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (Vancouver, BC) in Apr 2024
Interview
Completed 4 rounds of interviews (total of 4 hours) over a month. Two technical, one cultural, and one ‘getting to know you’. Everyone conducting the interviews was friendly but unfortunately I was never contacted again after the process and all my email follow ups were ignored. I was not expecting an offer, but to commit so many hours of time to a company and then be ignored is extremely unprofessional. It takes 10 minutes to write up a rejection letter.
