Pros

Great benefits, catered lunches, lots of employee perks. Ares really makes an effort to treat their employees well. Awesome experience whenever I was working with a good group. Upper management were all respectful.

Cons

Lots of cliques, a lot of unfair treatment. Definitely a lot of favoritism and COO did not try to cover it up at all. Also, EA management structure was weird. You weren’t managed by the team you worked for but by the head of EA’s. No one around to train or help you if you’re new. Better figure it all out yourself and quick!
