Working at Electronic Arts in Salt Lake City, UT: 6 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Salt Lake City, UT Area

"Great product, awesome opportunities, good environment, and an awesome team - just a lot of pressure. Also, our latest project had WAY too many chiefs and not enough Indians."

"I've worked at Electronic Arts for more than a decade. In fact, I left for three years and returned because the environment was so good. EA is a good place to work, fun environment and has fair compensation and great benefits."

"The best thing about EA is getting to work with talented people. Unfortunately, it is a very large company, and many business decisions are made in a very impersonal manner, ultimately leaving the players with a sense of EA being a soulless money-hungry entity."

"Big company so experience will differ. But EA is not a meritocracy. It's a relationship company. So what you actually do is much less important than having good relations with people up your chain. Normally, that means you shouldn't work outside of Redwood Shores (or at least one of their bigger studios) if you want advancement. And, strangely enough, a game team is not the fast track to promotion. A nice soft central team, at headquarters, with no accountability is the way to go."

"I worked at EASL for 3 years, primarily on the Sims 3 franchise. I liked my job well enough and my co-workers were very good at what they did. At times it felt a little bit like a factory, but overall I liked my job there."

"Electronic Arts is fun company to work for. I've been there for 7 years and have enjoyed every bit. The unfortunate aspect is the upper management for some of the labels. They seem to feel they're in a comfortable spot and rarely need to change. They don't seem to recognize potential failure... and if they do its misplaced or ignored to a degree. They're also afraid to leave their comfort zone and expand (or lead) to new areas."
