      Pros

      Electronic Arts is a bohemeth of a company, and there are a lot of opportunities within the company. If you get tired of working the long hours and high-stress deadlines on a game team, the central groups that support the game teams by building common tech and tools are there. Knowledge sharing is a big part of the draw of the company - the mailing lists across the company are an excelent way to get in contact with and brainstorm with people from a plethora of other game teams. Chances are, someone else has encountered the issue you're wrangling, and you can get feedback about a handful of different approaches you could take to solve it on your team.

      Cons

      Most people maintain a decent work life balance, but there's still presusre from management to work longer hours than should be neccesary if things were planned for well in adavance. Stupid things that have been ignored for months suddenly become "high priority" requiring late hours or coming in on a saturday to get them completed. The artist also aren't very technically inclined. While skilled in the art authoring tools, they overall seem to lack understanding of the consequences of the assets they put in game. It can be very frustrating working with them, having to remind them over and over to check their work, and fix problems generated when they forget to do so.

      Pros

      Working with the top talent in the industry without the ego to go with it. People are very passionate about the products we make. Electronic arts is a very well run business that has no debt. That is a very comforting thing in times when the economy is down.

      Cons

      Can be long hours and it sometimes feels like a very large company. There are times when it feels like other game companies are compensated better than Electronic Arts. The organization has just split into 4 lables and that has made the direction a little harder to follow. However, it appears we are heading in the right direction!
