Listen up, college students: EA was recently listed to the top 25 Best Overall Internships for 2014 by Vault.com! Vault surveyed thousands of current and former interns about internship programs and rated the programs in five key areas: Quality of Life, Compensation & Benefits, Interview Process, Career Development and Full-Time Employment Prospects. The ratings are averaged to determine an overall score for each program.
Interning at EA provides meaningful work, an opportunity to work alongside incredible mentors, join speaker series with leaders from around the company, key networking opportunities and of course fun events and trips for the group. It’s a great way to sample life at EA and get meaningful experience.
Our interns who participated in the anonymous survey said the benefits of the internship were:
- “Contributing to a project that I’m very proud of and can’t wait to see in its final release”;
- “Getting to do what I love”;
- “The work is relevant and actually goes into the game, interns are always managed so they are challenged but not overly stressed out”;
- “This is a place where fun and work come together. There are real long term opportunities here with a company you will love.”
- “It pushed me to grow and expand my knowledge” and
- “Getting to work with a group of amazing and talented people who all love their job”.
