"On the surface everything said publicly and promoted by the ERGs on EA's culture, diversity, equity and inclusion looks great. However, in my experience, their words were inconsistent with behavior and treatment of those not in power.
Based on my experience, leadership in many of the organizations was unable to deliver consistent strategy and data driven results. I saw frequent directional and organization transformations and was told that they were due to a lack of results delivery and poor strategy. I frequently saw decisions made without accurate and relevant data to support an action even though many in the organization were begging leadership to make data driven decisions. This along with fears for the predicted recession, has resulted in a hiring freeze and an announcement that they started laying off 6% of their workforce this year.
In my experience, I saw individuals with reported relational skill gaps promoted to people management without receiving adequate coaching on how to show up ethically, without bias and with a servant leadership mindset as there was no change in their behavior to those around them. I saw some of those managers on the extended leadership team actively praised and rewarded by senior leadership even though they actively bullied individuals with less senior titles who asked questions. I saw some of the same people take credit for work done by others. Their actions perpetuated a culture of what I felt was hurt and no accountability.
I am aware of two women who reported being sexually assaulted by co-workers to their superiors, had HR involved, each had felt scared and reported retaliation, saw their careers suffer and saw that nothing was ever done to the men involved."

"EA is a great place to work, though there is the risk of fatigue and burnout in some teams, and they are taking steps to reduce this and ensure people take PTO. In terms of work, I felt that my contributions were received and recognized fairly."
