Electronic Arts Work Experiences
3.0
Great people, great games. Too bad for management getting in the way
Technical Director • Former Employee
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
April 8, 2013
Pros: Extremely passionate developers of sports games, with clear ideas on how to build the best possible tech for these.
Excellent facilities, including a gym, soccer pitch, and beach volleyball court, along with Friday afternoon BBQs on the roof at EAC, are great for team building and general relaxation.
Cons: Management had little clue as to how technology-dependent games are, and how investing in technology pays for itself on cyclical games like sports titles.
4.0
Good work-life balance, but not a company for people with great passion for the gaming industry
Technical Director • Current Employee
Shanghai, Shanghai, China
February 19, 2023
Pros: * Good work-life balance
* Christmas holiday in China
* Nice office
Cons: Management is not passionate about making great games. As long as a game is not making money, that game will be eliminated. The China branch is loosely organized; it's more like an outsourcing offshore center.
5.0
Great Culture, Frequent Layoffs
Technical Director • Current Employee
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
October 22, 2024
Pros: Work culture is good, and the pay range is higher than average.
