Electronic Arts

Most companies call it HR. But at Electronic Arts, we made the deliberate decision to brand our organization People Experience (PE). PE is not just a play on words: it’s a team of cultural stewards who carefully create programs and talent strategies that directly impact our teams’ experience. For the better. We enable our People to achieve the most meaningful work of their careers.

We’re responsible for recruiting the best talent on the planet. But it doesn’t stop there. We also support their growth through learning programs, internal mobility, affinity group participation, and leadership development. We listen to our employees and dive into analytics to anchor our recommendations and decisions to keep engagement high. Last but not least, we’re responsible for a total rewards strategy that incentivizes equitably, provides outstanding benefits, and ensures a safe and inspiring workplace for our teams.

The compensation team are trusted consultants to our People Experience (PE) partners and the business leaders at EA. Through conferences, research, networking, and ongoing development opportunities, we stay at the forefront of market trends and marry our knowledge of market practice with the needs of our business to create compelling compensation programs that attract, engage, reward, and retain EA's talent.
