Pros

You'll work with smart people who are very passionate.

Cool perks if you love gaming.

An opportunity to try and learn many different things.

Cons

Constant layoffs.

Definitely not a place to establish a long-term career.

Lack of promotion (unless you're a rockstar among rockstars).

Way too much micro-management.

Advice to Management

EA is very much a culture where marketing is in control. I would heed the warnings the late Steve Jobs once gave to old Apple.

Manage as a united company, not as a single project.
