Interviewed Aug 2011 in Redwood City, CA (took 2 weeks)
it is fairly smooth process. the presentation to group member was beginning of interview followed by 1:1 interview. the questions are very generic. but it would be better to prepare details of your strong research point to sell yourself.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Foster City, CA (took 4 weeks)
The actual phone interview went very well although the recruiter did call 30min before the scheduled time.
I was scheduled to meet with the Manager and supervisor upon my visit however as it turned out, the manager did not come in to work that day but i was not notified of this until i showed up. I was able to meet with the supervisor as intended but she evidently had very little experience interviewing. She attempted to do a conference call with the absent manager but there was no answer after 2 attempts at which point she seemed nervous and out of place. She continued to conduct the interview herself by simply asking only a few basic interview questions pertaining to my experience. The Q&A lasted maybe 10min before she went to go see if the Director was available to meet with me. I was not given any insight on the job not was I given the opportunity to ask her any questions to the point that I had to "force" my questions upon her as I was escorted to the Director office. The Director asked me a series of loose ended questions but seemed like he just wanted to get back to work. Like the Supe, he didn't give me the opportunity to ask any questions or any insight on the job details before the brief interview was done andI was escorted out without as much a "thank you for coming" or "nice to meet you" from the Supervisor....or even an apology on behalf of the manager for not showing up.
All in all, I felt like I was jipped as my chances at getting the position was diminished since the one person to make the hiring decision was absent yet I was not given the opportunity to reschedule for a better time so essentially, it was a waste of my time as I had to take time off my current job and go all the way to foster city all to have a half @ssed interview.

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 3 months)
Got a call about a month after applying. Had a phone interview with the recruiter which went well. Then had a phone interview with the hiring manager which also went well. Then they went into complete silence (wouldn't answer my emails) for 2 months and then finally rejected me.
The interview process would be positive if it wasn't for the complete lack of communication post interview. I would have been more than happy to have taken the rejection right after my phone interview with the hiring manager.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Foster City, CA (took 4+ weeks)
Interview with recruiter was ok, no issues there. Interview with engineer was challenging, because he did not speak very good english. Questions were rather simple, but interviewer did not disclose any details about the job. The interview was quickly terminated after the engineer figured out my age. A promise to follow up with a on-site interview was never fulfilled.

Interviewed Sep 2008 in Foster City, CA (took 2 weeks)
see the position on craigslist, apply it and got a call 1 month later, phone screen 1 week later, then onsite 1 week after. It wasn't so much a technical interview as much it was just asking for personality fit.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in San Diego, CA (took 4 months)
This was my second time interviewing with SCEA. I invested two hours of phone interviews and 12 hours of on-site interviews that consisted in 3 days of panel interviews that lasted 4 hours each. After investing this much time in a candidate, I received a form letter more than a month after my last interview stating that I did not have enough experience for this position. I am surprised they would have wasted so much time on a candidate that they considered not qualified for the job.
I was very unimpressed by the entire interview process and got the feeling that nobody really knew what position I was interviewing for.

I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.
