Pros

You're working at EA. That, in and of itself, is pretty cool. You have the chance of being on a good game.

Cons

There is little to no opportunity to grow. QA is always looked at first when cuts are being made. Management feels like their own little clique with their own inside jokes about the rest of us. There is little meaningful interaction with management. Management assures us that compensation is competitive with other companies, but it obviously isn't when people who have been here for years as regular full-time employees are making as much as or less than contract employees.

Advice to Management

Management needs to understand that their employees aren't stupid. Many of our peers have moved on to other companies, whether it be from cutbacks or on their own due to the unfairness of the company. We know for a fact our compensation isn't competitive.
