Montreal, QCPosted Sep 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

In my EA interview, the panel started by going through my resume and picking out a few specific bullet points.

Then they asked deeper questions based directly on those highlights, which made the technical conversation feel connected to my actual experience.

At the end, they shifted in an interesting direction and asked what was the most recently played game for me personally. From there, they wanted to hear what features I would add to a sequel if I ever worked on that kind of project.

Overall it was a very good experience, and it stood out to me that they were blending technical curiosity with genuine interest in game thinking. I didn’t receive an offer, but the way the questions were framed made
