      Systems Engineer Interview

      14 Sept 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Capital Games in Aug 2016

      Interview

      itial phone screen was with a recruiter at the parent company Electronic Arts. Basic questions about experience with systems, virtual system management and AWS. Second interview was with the hiring manager. A little more technical but not heavily so. Third interview was on site and consisted of four back-to-back one-on-one interviews. Team members, hiring manager and technical director. Some technical questions but mostly problem solving hypothetical situations and questions to determine what level of maturity I was at as an engineer. My overall sense of the studio that it's a positive place to work and that the technology and support processes are up-to-date or advanced. AWS knowledge is pretty critical. Work-life balance seems to be ok which was a concern of mine since EA has a reputation for overworking people. The studio is in a good location, work atmosphere seems fun and the people seem pretty likable and good at what they do. The one negative is that there was no follow-up. I emailed the following day thanking them and expressing my strong interest. 2 weeks later I hadn't heard anything so I enquired by email to the recruiter and one other. No response until I asked again almost a week later. The recruiter finally replied that I wasn't the fit they were looking for. That's fine but four hours is a pretty big investment of my time not to receive some sort of decision or feedback. I suspect that the recruiter being with EA instead of with the studio caused them to drop the ball.

      Interview questions [2]
