Talked with two other senior art directors individually on MS teams for a position at EA Create, Shanghai. Both interviews were very conversational and not just a series of canned questions, and with both interviewers I felt a lot of commonality in regards to how to build, manage and empower strong creative teams. The interviews were much more about culture and company fit, and I left with a good impression of both the interviewers and the studio. However - what followed was nearly 4 month of radio silence, with only vague "We are still in headcount review" replies when asked for updates. Ultimately, I was forced to withdraw my application because our lease was up and we decided to leave the country.
