Electronic Arts

1. EA’s team culture is very open and friendly. I have met very talented people who are extremely humble and care about the team and work. As an engineer, I interact with people from all disciplines besides senior management. There is a constant effort by the team itself to engage with others and provide support.

2. Benefits: I have heard from other people that EA offers really good benefits. I am not too sure what other companies have to offer.

3. Growth ladder: It offers the ladder for you to grow, and there are ERGs that provide support if you are actively involved. I have come across roadblocks being a minority, but there are considerable efforts taken by different teams to focus on diversity. In the end, it can be team-dependent. More on being a minority, I have been able to seek support when needed, but it is a large organization to navigate. Meeting the right people is very essential.

Senior Management: Less interaction with senior management and visibility to decision making. Usually, we find out after the decision has been made. It's a very top-down approach, whether product or team related.
