Pros: You get to work on video games and meet lots of interesting and quirky people.

Cons: You won't get paid for what you're worth unless you make it to the executive levels. Working for EA is a "privilege for working in the games industry". You will work crunch hours. Raises are capped at 5% yearly regardless of your performance (usually you'll get a 1-2% raise), unless you get a promotion, which are hard to come by. Performance bonuses for great work are usually done in EA Stock, which has a vest date, used as a cheap tactic to get you to stay for EA longer than you otherwise might. Most positions are seen as easily replaceable labor.

Pros: Lots of free time, work-life balance, flexible timings, cool culture, good game titles, good work environment.

Cons: No development work is done here, only testing or support. The pay is totally bad, often less than the standard industry pay. Very demotivating work. There's a very bad work assessment scheme.

Pros: Basketball, discount and free games, free gym, good benefits, great co-workers.

Cons: Typically sub-median pay, questionable management decisions.
