Electronic Arts reviews

Lots of times there were very long hours without proper compensation for the work you do. Schedules are sometimes created without a work life balance in mind. On occasion, the political environment gets too hot, and there isnt a lot which you can control. If you decided youd like to work there, be preapred to cover yourself and don't make any enemies out of executive level people.

No respect from upper management, dog eat dog is an understatement when it comes to the employee backstabbing to get ahead. Almost impossible to be reclassified into a higher paying position. Guaranteed to be working for more than 60 hours per week, and likely over 100 hours per week during 'crunch' periods, which can last up to six months long. Beware of being shipped to a foreign country to work on a project, only to be kept there for a lot longer than intitially planned (at one point I went to canada for a three week stint, only to remain for almost four months).
