EA gets into CNN’s Top Great Employers for fresh graduates

It’s probably a gamer’s ultimate dream to be working in a game company and get a high salary for it. If you’re gonna dream, dream high and aim to work for a company like Electronic Arts which got to CNN Money’s Top 20 Great Employers.

Coming at second, EA currently has a US$ 3 billion revenue and 7, 200 full-time employees. Aside from the starting US$ 60,000 salary, new average-entry workers also get five to ten free games yearly, an option to purchase heavily discounted copies from a company store, and US$ 100 coupons for any game consoles. There are also restricted stock grants, an on-site gym, free DVD library and a plan that allows employees to buy company stock at a 15% discount.

To be fair, it’s quite difficult to get a position in this gaming giant’s company. Out of 5,000 graduate applicants last year, only 200 passed. A gamer getting paid for working in the video game industry is still a luxury, so good luck to anyone who attempts getting into EA.
