Electronic Arts

• Smart and dedicated individuals.
• All the perks of a big company in tech.
• Depends on the game team, but most game teams have 5-7 gatherings with food and beer.
• Decent salary.
• Relocation bundles.

• Crunch time in game teams, long work hours as to be expected from the industry.
• Company structure is inflexible.
• Overtime, it feels like you are just a small individual in a big machine.

The company is very layered. Your boss answers to his boss, and his boss answers to another guy. You never really get to meet the upper management class, so it feels like you are stuck at a lower level.

Also, I saw guys work 20+ straight days. I admire the dedication, but it's a lack of consideration from EA to let them ruin their health like this.
