Okay for short experience in a game company
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada
February 8, 2016
Pros: Good work/life balance.
Unlike what I was told before joining EA about their long hours and lack of appreciation for employees' time, my managers made a good effort in making sure that employees' expectations in terms of work/life balance are met.
We played games at work.
The pay is good.
Cons: There were too many non-technical managers in every team.
The tasks in my team were divided in a way that every software engineer did exactly one thing that they were good at, meaning that you don't get to learn too much from being involved in different aspects of the work.
Huge waste of money on too many parties.
The only food option nearby is the cafe inside EA. The food is not too good and expensive as well.

Pros: Interesting working environment, lots of small perks.
Working with enthusiastic and young people.
Have opportunities to be a part of big projects with high impact.
Cons: * Salary not great, medium to low compared to the amount of work put in.
* No job security: EA loves to fire people pretty randomly based on small mistakes without taking employees' value to the company and amount of work put in.
