Don't expect any game development kind of Job descriptions from EA Hyd. I don't have any friends there, but one of my friends recently attended the interview process. The role involved development of testing/automation tools. In fact he was told that most of the work at EA Hyd is centered around testing or development of testing tools or making bits and pieces that don't have any thing to do with game development directly. Also while he cleared the interviews, he was ultimately not given an offer citing reason that his salary was too high for them to match and surpass. They were at least courteous enough to frankly cite that as the reason. It seems they called him because of a mis-communication about the salary
