Business outlook
Pros
Great perks, great advancement opportunities, good salaries. EA is a great place to start a career, although you won't be paid very well in the beginning. Stick with it and your salary will go up, and you can move around within the company to find what interests you in the long term.
Cons
Some studios not very innovative, churning out repetitive products. Technology sharing culture is broken, many teams like to do things from scratch over and over again. Taking vacations during the production cycle is more difficult than at other studios, and you feel pressured not to do it.
