Pros

Had a really great work environment with many very talented people. Was treated just like a normal employee, and I was given great amenities.

Cons

Some of the employees lacked direction which made it seem like they were just there to make a paycheck, and not really going above what was required. The senior management didn't seem to take note of it.

Pros

Good people in QA, down to Earth. Creative, cool people.....in QA.

Cons

Management has no clue what they are doing as far as relating to their employees or customers, it's a typical TAKE the money out of their pockets instead of make awesome products and shut up and let them give their money freely. Pointless politics, yada yada yada. It's the same crap everywhere in corporate America, you've heard it all before and nothing will change and eventually they will file for bankruptcy AGAIN like they did several years ago. I can't wait to see them and EA fail.

Pros

Well organized division of labor, with mature HR Causal atmosphere laid back work ethic during down periods especially between releases Fun people, over all smart, dedicated and creative Every manager gets an Xbox or playstation installed in their office

Cons

Key people don't take job seriously, literally play games all day.. Even if not their job Very political for such a laid back environment Petty squabbles never handled by flip-flop wearing management While foot soldiers are very dedicated, upper management is not in touch with realities often within own teams
