Pros

Electronic Arts is a very creative environment. Knowledge sharing is imbued into the corporate culture which results in studios from around the world contributing new techniques and technologies to a central knowledge base.

Cons

Long hours at times. Despite the fact that they have a pretty poor public reputation for this, they do care about keeping number of hours down. It's just that unfortunately, they always seem to get into a position where the project is late, there are technical challenges, and then here comes the crunch time.

Pros

the perks are good, and you get to work with a lot of great people.

Cons

Because EA is such a large company, the different studios vary quite a bit in terms of the work environment, hours, and the quality and integrity of the management. As for the Vancouver studio, all I can say is that, personally, I don't think I would ever want to work there again. There are definitely a lot of perks to working at Electronic Arts in general, but in my experience, they don't always make up for the long hours, lack of recognition, lack of opportunities for career growth, and chaotic day-to-day (lack of) organization.
