Pros

No formal work culture. Work from home. Current EA share value is good. RSUs given at time of joining, now it has been discontinued. Brand name (People assume its game development work in india, which in fact is just a mobile and load testing centre). Location, Right next to a shopping mall, will save parking cost in mall. compensation little better than service companies, but take home is not what you see from CTC.

Cons

Work, only testing. Mobile and load testing servers done in hyderabad. All false promotion about some development work by people for false recognition. People, Worst managers and hr's. Take things very personally and with an attitude to pull someone professionally down. Every one wants to leave but fails to get a job outside. Career, Growth and promotions only for the managers pets and people who were hired by managers from previous organisations. hr's fully support the wrong hiring and politics of managers. Hard to move out of here. One loses technical skills and finds it diffcult to find job outside. Mother of Layoffs, completely use humiliate and throw policy. Work life balance, good for managers pets and people good at politics. Overall a really bad place to work.
