Good Pay, Lost In Crowd

Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: I think Electronic Arts pays comparatively well to other game companies in the industry.

Cons: Electronic Arts is a very large company, and it is certainly possible to get lost in the crowd. Although I think conditions vary a lot from team to team. I know lots of people who have burned out from working the long hours and crunching. Although crunching is pretty common in the games industry, so I feel like you'll see that anywhere.
