PTO is decent.

Week-long Christmas break for RFT.

There is a decent work/life balance that the company seems to be trying to improve. If you are lucky enough to have a manager that cares, you can have it even better.

Pay is below industry average.

No vertical movement.

Lack of technical direction leads to miscommunication and confusion.

New "made up" Vice President positions are created every two weeks and filtered to lower employees as if this should make us happy, all while taking away from the bonus pool year after year and not providing ample opportunities for advancement for other employees.

Understand that there is no shortage of opportunities for developers across the country. While EA may be a top corporate within Orlando, if they want to keep good talent and not have to worry about replacing people all the time, they might want to be a tad more competitive in compensation and stop worrying so much about corporate restructuring at the management/VP level.
