      EA is a great employer! After working in the game industry I wouldn't work in another industry.

      Pros

      The people, culture and technology! Working with some of the most talented engineers and artists in the industry is pretty amazing. The fact that we have a global presence provides opportunity for each any every employee. We ship phenominal titles and the consumers keep coming back for more. Your hard work will be recognized. JR has made some postive changes and they have escalated down to each studio.

      Cons

      Just like every other job there is the politics. Some times there may be too much red tape but that happens when you get corporate involved. We are passionate about developing hit games and should always keep work/life balance in mind.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Casual and fun work environment; great products; talented and passionate co-workers; personal satisfaction of working on something that people enjoy; highly challenging work managing iterative and creative development

      Cons

      Hit and miss success of videogames across the industry and at EA (spend 2 years of your life working on a product that is forgotten 2 months after release); long hours leading up to game release; managing younger, less professional employees at times can be an extreme challenge; turnover at some of the studios makes it more difficult to develop products to schedule

      Best in the industry

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Under Riccitiello, each studio within EA is gaining more independence, giving us more creative freedom, while the benefits of working for a corporate giant (benefits, marketing power, etc) remain. Beyond that, it's studio dependent. Don't necessarily assume a valid gripe from one employee is a corporate-wide problem.

      Cons

      It's still the games industry. The hours can be longer and the pay is usually less. If gaming is not something you love, you'll be happier elsewhere.
