If innovation is what you crave, stay away from EA

Senior game designer

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Great perks around campuses Loads of talented people Great discounts Decent compensation You can seemingly skate by and be lazy for years if you're into that sort of thing

Cons

Bloated management structures Lack of drive towards innovation or new IP Absolutely not a meritocracy Senior staff seems to still be in place (and getting promoted) after doing nothing but drive the stock price into the dirt
