      I have been working at Electronic Arts full-time for more than 3 years

      Pros

      Reliable work if you are on a central/sports title. Work culture is very friendly and positive. Studio space is world-class with an emphasis on health. Studio is surrounded by green space, has fitness classes, pet-friendly, lots of natural light.

      Cons

      Non-standardized titles are riskier for employees, lots of cases of people being laid off or moved around many different projects. Noticing complacency in a lot of the senior staff, people-management often is put upon people who don't have a passion for management. Lack of opportunity for new projects/ips/ideas. Lots of corporate-speak from the executive level and a lack of commitment to address key issues.
