Great colleagues but leadership is out of touch
Pros
If this was 5 years ago I'd have way more pros, but as of right now the only pro is your colleagues. They've been consistently the best part of the job. And I guess their competitive pay, but I would argue it's more like gold handcuffs.
Cons
In the past 5 years EA and it's studios have gone downhill. The constant layoffs make you feel like you're always on edge never knowing if you'll have a job next week. Your performance doesn't matter in the end. If the company doesn't hit their arbitrary sales goals that execs set, lower level employees who have no control over the performance of the game get laid off, while leadership and execs constantly get promoted. They've also forced return to work while cutting employee incentives like holiday parties and other similar activities, all while saying they want us to return to studios for the "culture" and "connection". Overall, leadership has become out of touch and employees are unhappy.
