So the interview process usually kicks off with a chat with HR. Then, we dive into some QA knowledge questions, covering things like Scrum, Agile, and general testing concepts. After that, we'll talk about how you approach QA workflow and processes. There might also be a quick online coding test thrown in before we wrap up with a final interview to see if you're a culture fit.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process was meant to have 2 rounds, not counting HR. Both rounds went well, so well that I was offered an additional interview for a Lead QA role, which I couldn't take due to lack of lead experience, but they said I'd still be considered for the senior role. However, the process involves third-party HR consultants who seem to disregard candidates. I was expecting an offer quickly, but they delayed so much that I accepted another offer, which they wouldn't match. I still chose EA, but they continued to stall without explanation. I tried to follow up with the consultant, my sole contact, but they ignored my situation for two weeks. When I involved the EA interviewers directly, the consultants got upset and told me to retract my email to EA. When I refused, they cut me as a candidate. So, overall, poor HR practices throughout the company, which predictably leads to losing candidates. Glad I didn't join. This is the second time EA's HR has failed me. Definitely wouldn't recommend this company for serious candidates.
