Pros

EA is a leader in the gaming industry, with opportunities to be exposed to many different aspects such as QA, development, project management, marketing, etc. Not to mention many different genres of games.

Most of the people I worked with loved their jobs and were excited about what they do. Of course, getting discounts on game titles doesn't hurt.

Cons

It can be difficult to move from contract to full-time.

One issue with the industry in general is that you can certainly expect some long nights and weekends, especially leading up to launch day.

As with any large company, dealing with the bureaucracy can be frustrating at times.
