Pros

Great culture and teams. People want to work there and (mostly) like working there, and it shows. Fantastic place to learn about the games industry. Every day brings something new.

Cons

Career paths are unclear. Hard to know if you are learning transferable skills. Job titles do not match industry norms. Business units are heavily siloed. Knowledge sharing is the exception not the norm. Managers have good technical skills but poor management skills. IT is unresponsive and restrictive.

Pros

The work is nice and steady without ever getting into crunch nightmares. The people here are very human and make it a joy to be at work. One of the longest jobs I've ever had and worth the commitment. I can easily recommend working here to just about anyone in software.

Cons

Old Foster City campus is a bit dingy but they've moved to a much nicer facility at Bridgepointe now. There's a less prestige in SCEA compared to FAANG companies but there's also a lot more stability.

Pros

The people and perks are great and money was a big step up from Indie games. I have maintained friendships that started at SCEA and it's been 15 years since I left.

Cons

Some of the games aren't AAA but I still maintain this company was a life changer for me. Crunch can be a bit brutal if you are on a sports title.
