      Bottom Feeding Soul Sucking Corporate Culture

      Designer

      Pros

      You will meet some brilliant, kind people. They will most likely go elsewhere once their contract is up. (Or before.)

      Cons

      Where to start? Management is corrupt and is rewarded for it. Will relocate you with sky high promises than lay you off 6 months later after you've ripped your family from their previous home and moved 3000 miles away. Sleazy managers will consistently be awarded. There is no limit to how low they will go. They claim to have work/life balance. What a joke.

      A great place to work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Excellent wages + nice perks (Free games, ice cream, masseur on site, work events, raffles, meditation rooms to chill etc.) -Language bonus sweetens up the paycheck further -Constantly evolving training and workflow -EA fosters and supports its employees, offering options to improve and grow through various channels -Monthly 1 x 1 Meetings with Team Manager to stay on top of things -Very nice office building with great tech (Those new PCs are sweet!) -Interesting insight in how the gaming industry actually works, I was honestly surprised how like 75% of the EA hate is based on blatant ignorance/wrong information -Galway is a lovely place to live with reasonable rent

      Cons

      -Blackout periods for vacation periods during peak season -If you are working in T1 can have a rather monotone call centre quality whereas Specialist roles are scarce -Focus on yearly releases like FIFA, Madden etc. is dominant which can be disheartening if these aren't games you enjoy - Even though a Yearly Bonus Scheme exists based on performance, it's nothing special -Information takes time to reach Advisers/Specialists who then have to take the heat from players -

      Performative Allyship and Non competitive Pay

      Visual designer
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - fun work environment, lots of gifts, good time off during the holidays - depends on the team you're on, but I loved my team, very tight knit - fairly easy to talk to higher ups about ideas and feedback

      Cons

      - performative allyship- especially for the LGBTQ folks at EA and overall. Lots of talk and very little action. Leadership doesn't want to make "divisive" comments or stances on things they feel are political, but these are folks whose lives are being threatened- they do not care about their LGBTQ employees. - Non competitive pay- initial pay was good, but very little raises are offered. Several people in my studio quit because they received no bonuses or raises after being there for years and having excellent feedback. - They don't replace folks they lose on teams forcing others to take on more responsibility and causing burn out - Lack of care and attention when hiring managers to oversee teams that are not a good culture/team fit - HR is not there to protect you. They are there to protect the company - Layoffs are never easy but they were done unprofessionally (HR present in meeting made jokes during the layoff call) and severance packages are not generous.
