It depends

Software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Your experience at EA completely depends on the team you are working for. Game teams have tight deadlines and they may push you sometimes. Also, some game teams are more democratized than others in terms of allowing you to try new things. For instance, PvZ team is very flexible while FIFA is not. The overall culture in EA is better than other tech companies mainly because half of EA employees are artists and not engineers! They get excited with colors rather than numbers!

Cons

-The benefits and salaries are mediocre comparing to other giants. -It is not easy to switch teams/roles in EA -People get promoted by talking a lot (politics)! rather than achieving something

Business Outlook

Pros

Fun place to work if you are a core gamer.

Cons

Very political and corporate culture. Be careful who you end up working for as they won't always have your best interest in mind.
