Pros: Benefits are not bad. If you get lucky and work under the right person, career prospects are not bad too. You may get to do interesting work and work on quality AAA games. There are also a huge amount of resources and smart people, so even if you eventually leave, it's a huge learning opportunity.

Cons: The company is being run by producers who, a lot of times, are too heavy on micro-management and are wannabe designers rather than actual production workers. Marketing also has too much of a say in how your game should be made. All that means is people who actually make the game usually have very little influence on the final outcome. Lack of clear direction in the company leads to reactive policies (oh, let's make Wii games! Crap, it's over, let's make Facebook games! Crap, not doing well either, let's make mobile games!).

Pros: Company provides great benefits and adopts the latest technology.

Cons: The salary is not very high.

Pros: I have been very lucky to have had the privilege to work with so many intelligent, creative, and passionate individuals on a wide range of projects across several studios at EA.

Cons: The enormous layering of middle and upper management creates a vacuum that has a tendency to destroy creativity and idea exploration on game teams. The senior level structure within EA is unfortunately more interested in the preservation of their own roles within the company than in creating really great games. Additionally, this company is extremely risk-averse and beholden to their quarterly reports, which ensures that they will continue to follow trends rather than create them.
