Pros

No real strategy so you basically can make up what you want to do on a daily basis. Great Benefits and Perks.

Cons

Leadership is paid well but refuse to make decisions and provide direction. Organizations are led by incompetent middle managers because senior management lives on consensus. Player first is a joke for a strategy. Everything this company does is against what it's players truly want, from game dev to customer support. The joke at EA is the 3 yr plan. Get promoted get vested and then get the heck out.
