Currently considering a position at EA and wondering if it'll be a step above current job at Valve. I don't really have any issues in terms of compensation but some part of Valve culture is a little challenging for me related to supposedly "flat" structures that aren't always so.
What's culture at EA like? Are there any things culturally that you're unsatisfied with at EA?

My Indian manager constantly discriminate me for being “different”
- Start a group of 2 or 3 people that does "something". "Something" is usually not making money.
- Be overwhelmed, and then start to expand personnel regionally to fix that. The original do-ers are now managers.
- Regional workers are overwhelmed, so they need staff. The regional workers are now managers, and the original people that started the group are now directors or higher.
You now have an org with almost too much time on their hands. Easiest way to spot them is when you get "urgent" requests out of nowhere near the end of the quarter. These are not actually urgent, but they have to show progress on "goals" in order to keep feeding the beast.
