Pros
It is a great place to learn how to get the job done - being late with a product is not acceptable, and EA instills a great work ethic to make it happen. The benefits package is also very good; ESPP, 401K, health, dental, vision are all very good plans.
Cons
The downside to instilling a great work ethic is that teams work their butt off, sometimes unnecessarily. It creates resentment between development teams and their management, and off course, a lot of stress. My biggest complaint about EA was that I had no interest in truly moving into a leadership position because I didn't believe in the mid level management's own leadership. It took me to leave and move to another company before I felt I could shine.
