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.
