Electronic Arts reviews

Layoffs through out the year with little to no job security. Less or no useful work but full of politics and expert boot lickers. Not a place for engineer or technical people as the work done at hyderabad is either mobile game testing or load testing some servers and is of no use outside. The worst Management and managers at all levels starting at Sr and Jr test managers. A team is made up of people hired by managers from their previous organizations, some expert boot lickers, talebearers and the rest who keep trying but fail to clear other job interviews. Most of the technical people and engineers quit in short time or abscond because of politics, the work and finding incompetent people leading them or ordering them. And yes pro north indian company with policies of work from home or flexible timing being offered to them or managers pets but for others its against the policies.

- none of the pros matter when you don't like your job - ridiculous, I mean ridiculous work hours for all levels of employees (easily 60+ per week). Forget having a family life unless you have a stay-at-home wife. This also explains the lack of women at the company. - high stress and tons of operational and technical problems which are never solved properly since everything is rushed - unhealthy culture and climate: harsh, confrontational, unsupportive. Management constantly complaining of the quality of staff and focuses on the negative - everyone appears to be on the verge of getting fired - I was shocked to find that very few mid to senior-level people actually have degrees in areas they work, which means they just execute in the same substandard way they learned at EA year after year.
