Not bad. Not great
Not bad. Not great
The name. It felt great to say I work for EA Sports and see the reactions. It still feels great to say I worked at EA Sports and see the reactions of outsiders.
Time off and benefits package (e.g., discounted video games). Living in Orlando wasn't bad. Getting to see the games developed from start to finish was cool. Met some cool people. Still keep in contact with a few. The manager I had was the best. Perks (Magic games, concert tickets, etc.). The work-life balance I had was good (10:00 AM - 6:00 PM). I had to stay later on a few occasions.
Not much career development/advancement opportunity. Little to no training program (from what I saw, at least). Year-round warm weather got old and mundane. Felt that a few engineers above me were threatened, which led them to giving me crappy work at times. Not really much respect from the game teams to the central teams.
