Massive redundancy and lack of direction - Software Engineer EA Technology Employee Review

Interesting product, nothing much else

Where to begin; the decision and plan to enter the global marketplace could not have been more flawed, signing on with local (US, Asia, So America, Et. Al.) service shops that had zero market knowledge much less business acumen was a guarantee of failure which is exactly what happened. The local US contracted organization was hopeless; mismanaged, incompetent, inept, I could keep going but the point is made.

Interesting work, really deep relationships with GB network clients, once good career progression opportunities. Once there were really interesting projects to get involved in across the business.

New investors and executive team are destroying the culture, and what once made EA Technology a great place to work. It may well make EATL more revenue and more profit, but the ordinary employee won't see the benefits. Management are becoming more "commercial" (self-professed) - limiting opportunities to be involved in interesting project and focusing much more tightly on "our core products". Company currently going through a painful redundancy process, where amongst other things almost all the board from 12 months ago have now been replaced and almost if not all graduates are being made redundant. It appears to be being run for short term profit by inflating value of company then quick sale, not long term sustainable success.
