Pros

Coolness factor is quite high No lack of technological bandwidth: you ask for it, you can get it, if you can figure the system out. Experience at EA is well respected outside the games development community

Cons

Extremely poor management. it is as thought they have found a way to take all the bad aspects of software development management and games studio management and put them together.
