EA Interview Preparation Info Ever since I wrote about my EA interview saga I have been getting periodic emails from people. They all basically say "I have an interview with EA on {day of week}. Can you give me some advice on what to do?"
I have answered a few, but I think it would be best to just put my advice here so that people stop emailing me about it =). Here goes:
I wrote most of what they asked my in the above referenced blog entry. I was surprised when they started asking stuff about vectors and matrixes and geometry. Things like finding the normal of 3 points on a plane, doing some trigonometry, matrix multiplication. Nothing too in depth, but it might be worthwhile to do a basic review of such things.
They will also ask you C++ stuff. If your C++ isn't too hot then it is worth reviewing it. Perhaps write a little program to get into the swing of it. I was asked a question to which the correct solution used recursion.
In general I think it is good to talk out your answers, so they know what you are thinking. Even if you get something wrong they can see what you were trying to do. I know that I didn't get all the answers right. Also I think it is very important to interact well with the interviewers. Be the nice and friendly person you know you are ;). The interviewers will be looking for people that they would like to work with. Try and have a nice chat with them.
Also while I am writing this I would just like to point out that EA has been criticized for their labor practices. The 'inside scoop' says that they like to hire bright young students out of university and work them to death. Such a job would still be an excellent learning experience, but you should know what you are getting in to.
Best of luck on your interview.
63 comments | Ooo.. I have a follow up interview with EA in 2 days... Ya they asked me C++ questions on the first interview but no math questions.. I am expecting some of them though.... | | |

Beware of UST Global.
Hi Friends please dont prefer attending UST Global interviews...They have recruted 3rd year students from my college in 2006....till now they did not call them.If we ask HR ppls,they were saying due to bussiness reasons they were unable to call the students they have recruted.
Also colleges,please dont allow this company to recruit ur students..they are playing with students life.

Hi Friends,

Well all those people who are asking about the written test paper, Then I am clearing it out that the Apti and English there in the paper is very easy. There will be one picture matching ques also. But there will be lots of ques from Games.Ques based on diff games will be there. So get information about diff games. At the end they will ask you to write one essay on a topic that you have to choose from 3 options thta they have given to you. So all the best for all of them who are going to attend the written test.
I am cleared the written. Now I want help about the face to face interview of EA sports. If any body have any knowledge about the ques they ask in PI please let me know. | | |

I am a fresher from an engineering college in jaipur (india). I have been placed as a quality analyst (game tester) in EA sports in an open campus recruitment held in our college. Around 2000 students were appeared and after 4 rounds (aptitude, technical, PI, HR), they finally selected 40 students and result was declared after 7 days. This recruitment was done by a third party (some consultancy) .
Now some people says that they won't send joining letters, because they have done this before. Can anyone please tell me how could i check the status of my joining letter ? | | |
