Fun place to work because of the nice campus, but pay is not great
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Redwood City, California, United States
April 20, 2014
Pros: A very nice campus. The gym is also great.
Cons: Pay is below industrial standards. There are many studios within EA, but you don't get to work with any other studio but the one you are in. It's very hard to meet other people outside your studio. Deadlines can be tough and will require you to do overtime.

First internship at EA Romania
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Bucharest, București-Ilfov, Romania
August 22, 2015
Pros: Very cool office, with nice people always ready to help you. A lot of fun and a lot of things to learn by working in a team here.
Cons: I can't say anything negative about EA Romania. Maybe some people will consider the internship salary too small, but for internships in Bucharest, this is in the first 10% of companies.
