Pros

There are some really incredible, dedicated people. PTO is also generous.

Cons

- Confusing and often tone deaf communications from exec level that frequently lack transparency - Severe lack of accountability particularly for exec/c suite level - Constant and rapid turnover - Despite the fact the company is “one” company, every business unit pays vastly different amounts with differing comp structures and offers different benefits - for companies acquired by EA (GiveGab, Salsa) this is a particular strain since these companies were never fully integrated or brought to equitable pay with peer EA employees. I left for a position that is pays 3x the amount I was making with significantly reduced workload and way better benefits. - Everything is made substantially harder because of lack of integration in email and tools across the business units (for example, 92 different sales tools and instances of those tools are being used across the revenue organization). - HR is relatively non-existent and when they do respond they’re frequently rude and unhelpful - if you have an issue, you literally have to submit a Google form and wait 2-3 business days before someone gets back to you. Often I had to submit several times to get an answer - colleagues shared similar experiences. - Morale is low and burnout is severe particularly in the revenue organization. - No effort made in improving remote culture or having folks meet /get to know their colleagues in intentional ways. Instead, they’re prioritizing reopening and bringing people back to offices (again, prioritizing this over blending HR systems and creating equitable paybands & benefits across the company), with very little mention of how this will look for folks who are not near any of the cities that have offices. - Internal candidates are treated poorly and I’m aware of folks who have applied to a new internal position, gotten 2-3 interviews in, and then were completely ghosted by the hiring manager. Insane.

Pros

As a person, I felt well taken care of by my management chain. We were encouraged to explore and be vocal and I never felt micromanaged.

Cons

- Questionable payment structure for ICs (no bonus plan) - Leadership doesn't do much of anything but takes all of the credit while the rest of us get laid off - Like most companies run out of Austin, it's a cash grab at the top while ICs do all of the work with little direction
