      No opinion of CEO

      I have been working at Electronic Arts

      Pros

      Senior leaderships have good intentions. Somewhat flexible to chose what available project you want to work within the studio. Great facilities and benefits.

      Cons

      Lots of mid level veteran position who are obsolete and not willing to adapt to change. Unfortunately senior leaderships tend to listen toward these old timers. Compensation is poor compared with other studios. Long hours.

      Advice to Management

      Be more involve in the field on day to day basis.

      Negative Outlook
      Disapproves of CEO

      I worked at Electronic Arts full-time for more than 8 years

      Pros

      Great facilities, the gym is useful.

      Cons

      Incompetent management who are more concerned about covering their own reputation with their superiors than actual leadership. This workplace attracts people because of their name recognition but this just lets management get away with more employee abuses than most software companies in Vancouver. You will be under-compensated working here, this is just the fact of the matter.
