Most of the EA horror stories are based on that 'EA spouse'* blog from
some years back, which painted a less than rosy picture of working for
them. A fully justified one too, but it only covered a small fraction of
what is a truly massive organisation.

On the flip-side I know a couple of people who work for EA and love
it to bits.
