      Pros

      Company name is recognizable by many gamers due to a few of their popular games and the amount of time they have been sitting in the Bay.

      Cons

      While EA would like to hire the best and the brightest from the most successful marquee software companies, it's not likely that they will be successful in doing that any time soon. They are an old school gaming company and look it. Nothing cool or edgy about the place. Compensation is not competitive, no employee perks to speak of, their offices are horribly outdated and drab and most importantly, so is their technology stack.

      Pros

      Company provides great team and people with competitive benefits. EA has really positively transformed after the restructuring.

      Cons

      Crunch can be pretty rough. Multiple projects can often happen with very short turnarounds and high expectations. Difficult to refer friends to come work as most positions start out as contract. Had encountered more friction than expected requesting vacation days.

      Pros

      Everyone is great to work with and the environment is simply one of the best you'll ever encounter. The building has everything you could ever hope for and the company never forces you to work in a way that's disruptive to your normal life. Teams are understanding of individual needs and everyone tries to help each other when they can. The talent there is generally top notch. Management is always trying to do the best for the teams and there's never a moment where support isn't offered if you need it. The culture is one of the best and will make you wonder why people have such a negative view of the company as a whole.

      Cons

      There is a lot of work to do if you're a key individual on a team. Trying to advance is difficult. There are a lot of initiatives and meetings to help people move to a place that they want to, but there's simply no time during the year between projects to realistically try and explore other paths. Additionally, change doesn't happen easily on projects. Because schedules are tight, there's little time to implement big ideas which sucks because people there really do have some great ones. Most people I met spent 4-5 years there before feeling the need to move on to another studio, but you get some great experience during that time.
