J'ai passé un entretien chez Electronic Arts en févr. 2021
Entretien
Phone call with recruiter. Then 1hr video call with team member. Then 4-5hr virtual onsite.
I got the impression that the work culture was questionable. To be fair, most of the interviewers were professional, but one in particular was unprofessional.
For example, during one of the onsite rounds the interviewer repeatedly complained about turnover on his team. Specifically, he kept on complaining about someone who had left his team after just one year. He repeatedly brought up this person throughout the interview and said he had left due to his unwillingness to learn. It is unprofessional to talk about your staff to others, and more unprofessional to complain about your staff to candidates. This was one of the many red flags, and I do not blame this person for leaving. I highly doubt he left because he was unwilling to learn.
I strongly considered simply walking out part way. I felt it would be unprofessional as I had already committed to the rest of the rounds that day. However, in retrospect I should have done this as it was a waste of time.
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.

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.

The interview process was good and thorough. It was great to chat about my experience with the hiring manager. The process started with a recruiter screen then a hiring manager interview.
