Pros
EA is a huge company and I suspect my experience is different than on other teams/sub-orgs. - Worksite flexibility (my team allows fully remote, hybrid and on-site) - Great pay and benefits: The medical benefits are really good. The potential for great pay is there, but you need to negotiate for it. There's very little company transparency about pay and levels. - Very little/no overtime or crunch. - High number of woman and non-binary staff, especially in leadership positions.
Cons
EA is a huge company and I suspect my experience is different than on other teams/sub-orgs. - Company keeps pushing us to use AI. CEO has fully embraced AI. - Art is not treated with knowledge or respect. We're often blamed for stalling the project when Design and Production is behind/ill-prepared/etc. Art team is small and keeps getting reduced via layoffs. Art director contributions are questionable. - No product vision beyond: let's make money from a very large group of people. - The worst producers and leadership I've worked with in a decade. Regular product/production practice reboots. Producers don't understand the disciplines they are producing. Large numbers of producers and "leaders" who mostly just get in the way of development and ownership.
