I learned a lot here
Software Engineer II • Former Employee
Orlando, Florida, United States
July 30, 2015
Pros: Great benefits, nice offices. Really smart people to work with, and EA University might be the greatest idea of all time.
Cons: The crunch was pretty brutal, but not as bad as in the Madden 2006 / Superman days. Not a great place creativity-wise; too many meetings, too much of an emphasis on sequels. The promotion and review system was kind to me, but it is utterly ridiculous, and the ACTION values system needs to go.

EA was a good place to work
Software Engineer II • Current Employee
Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada
August 28, 2009
Pros: I learned so many things from my colleagues.
You see a lot of smart people around.
They have awesome technologies.
Cons: It's a very big company, and sometimes it's hard to get recognition for your work.
Some of the game teams are just doing the same over and over and are not innovating enough.
