Pros

The most appealing aspect of working for Electronic Arts is working for a leader in the industry. Being the leader affords you some unique exposure to some amazing things going on in the industry. There is also a wealth of talent at EA and usually the best and brightest in the industry at least have a stopover at EA.

Cons

The hours are long especially when compared to the compensation. Unfortunately there is not much upside for people and really it's just time you spend to bolster a resume. The bureacracy at EA is particularly discouraging albeit, some of it is related to the size of the company. Days at EA you either hate it or love it and unfortunately not much inbetween.
