"EA is an excellent place to work, with exciting products and technologies, a fast paced and challenging workload, and brilliant co-workers."

"Nice place to work at. Great place to improve skills in a fast paced environment."

"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."

"I've worked at Electronic Arts for almost a year now and I can say that it is the best place I have worked at thus far. It is a really fun work environment because, yes, it is a gaming company so it is our job to make things fun and exciting. I have learned a lot while working here and I am excited for what the future holds for me within the company."

"Great company with great assets. Too many reorgs - not very constructive."

"Great company to work for. I started as a first time designer and worked my way up before I was laid off in September."

"I enjoyed the experience that EA has given me over the past contract term. The way they acknowledged my skills and prior training was wonderful. I enjoyed working with the many different equipment and software needed to get the job done. Although the tasks seemed repetitive at times, I enjoyed every last bit of it."

"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."

"I've worked for Electronic Arts for three years. I've challenged myself in many ways and succeeded far beyond my initial dreams upon joining the company. I began as a marketing asset creator and have blossomed into a strong creative voice. Those around me trust my creative intuition and I've also learned to trust my creative instincts more than ever before. I'd consider myself a valued asset with a passionate, hungry attitude who always goes above and beyond what is expected of me."

"Great position, however there isn't much for room for any say in the company. I am looking to grow as a sales/business development professional while working on a technical background in my spare time."

"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 have worked for Electronic Arts for almost a year now and I feel that the advancement in this company will be very difficult. I also feel that the pay is not fair compared to other jobs in the computer industry. I want a job that will compliment my intelligence and a job that will help me grow in experience in my field of degree. I look forward to a future that will allow me to expand my current living status."
