Graduate Careers in EA
EA operates its global headquarters in Redwood Shores, CA, with other US studio locations in Los
Angeles, CA, Orlando, FL, Fairfax, VA, and Salt Lake City, UT. Regardless of where you work in
the EA World, you're sure to be working with passionate, creative co-workers driven by the same
goal — to make the world's best games. You might even find yourself working with such entertainment
industry luminaries like Will Wright, creator of The Sims and the highly anticipated Spore, or Steven
Spielberg, who's partnering with our EA Los Angeles team on exciting new game projects.
Your career choice is one of the hardest decisions you will ever face. In fact, it's often a
life-changing decision. We recognize how tough it is, and that's why we urge you to consider
the following points when thinking about your career:
|

Does the company expect you to take responsibility and drive results?

using constantly change, bringing new goals and opportunities?
|

Culture

Does the company have a culture that rewards and drives creative thinking? Do they
have an open and honest culture? Do they have a "work hard, play hard" mentality?
|
|
Success
|
Is the company successful? Do they produce sought-after products? Are they a market
leader? Are they ambitiously growing? Is the company global and do they provide
opportunities to work in different locations?

These are some of the most important questions facing anyone making a career choice. At EA,
we recognize that our success and market leadership come down to one thing — people. For the
company to be successful, we must hire and retain the best people, people who are encouraged
and empowered to make a difference. Looking at the questions above, we are confident that we
provide compelling reasons for joining our team. We provide a creative environment that allows
our employees to reach their potential. We also provide support and training to help our
employees grow into new positions. And we also reward our employees for the great work they do.
All of these things underpin our philosophy of hiring and retaining the best talent in the world.
For recent college graduates coming to work at EA, you'll have great opportunities right away and
an amazingly supportive infrastructure to help you along the way. To ensure your success, we will
assign a dedicated manager and a "grad guide" to mentor you throughout your early career at the company.
Also, as a recent graduate, you are used to learning and expanding your knowledge. This will not stop
at EA. We are committed to helping you continue to grow through training and development programs
geared toward helping you realize your maximum potential.
