Pros

Lots of opportunities to work a lot of extra hours. They do compensate you pretty well, and the severance package was good.

Cons

Soulless company. Doesn't care one small iota about its employees. If your game only profits 20 million, you get laid off. EA only [made] 50 million dollar titles.

Advice to Management

If you are going to lay off a huge number of people, at least have the balls to send someone from corporate to do it. Heaven forbid someone thank us for our service.
