EA 5 months

Wopee... i have now been at EA for about 5 months and this is what I have to say.
  • Bunch of really smart guys
  • Factory mentality, develop games and move on next title
  • Somewhat heavy-weight processes (trying to do Scrum)
  • LETS do it attitude
  • Politics
  • For new management hires, make sure you network properly, find your niche soon
  • Situational management is key
  • Things move QUICKLY so make sure you are setup for it, get with the program!!
  • You fail hard... and it happens!!!
  • Really smart people here (did I mention that?) hey we are looking, we need more people in Singapore NOW!!
Wow its a big organization and stuff really move like the speed of sound.

Currently we are building a kick ass framework for MSG games and might be moving over to the MMO space, exciting, he he. There are some architectural challenges still to solve... time, time, time... where are you dear time machine?

Keyword: SKU plan :)

Go figure!!
