I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2021
Interview
One interview, one hour long. Not a lot of information prior to going into the interview. Make sure to sign the NDA or else they can't really tell you about the project.
The interview process was relatively straightforward, there was an initial phone screen, then a single interview round which consisted of a technical portion with an engineer and a behavioural portion with the team manager.

Tell me about a time you've dealt with conflict in the workplace
I applied online. I interviewed at Electronic Arts in Mar 2023
Interview
I was contacted by the lead technical recruiter for the Software Engineering Intern position, and we scheduled a call to discuss the next steps. However, on the day of the call, the recruiter emailed me just 10 minutes before to reschedule. While I initially gave her the benefit of the doubt, the next day, she failed to call me altogether, claiming that she had forgotten to add it to her calendar. I attempted to schedule another call, stressing the importance of prompt communication, but once again, the recruiter forgot to follow through. As a student, my time is valuable, and it is unacceptable for recruiters to waste it in this way. I am outraged by this level of incompetence and lack of professionalism. If you are unable to perform the basic task of showing up to scheduled calls, you have no place in a role as crucial as recruiting.
