Electronic Arts - A Company Not To Work For?

Two recent blog entries (by Joe Straitiff, a former employee, resp. E.A.-spouse's E.A.-The Human Story) suggest that Electronic Arts is not really a great company to work for. Even worse, E.A. seems to force its employees (whether they do have family or not) to the borderline of mental and physical exhaustion, demanding constant 80-90 working-hours per week, without compensation whatsoever.

E.A.-spouse writes: "When you make your profit calculations and your cost analyses, you know that a great measure of that cost is being paid in raw human dignity, right?"

Scary.
