Ha! Even Wikipedia has some criticism of EA listed.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Arts
Electronic Arts has from time to time been criticised for its
employment policy of requiring employees to work extraordinarily long
hours - up to 85 hours per week - at "crunch" times leading up the the
scheduled releases of products. "The current mandatory hours are 9am
to 10pm -- seven days a week--with the occasional Saturday evening off
for good behavior (at 6:30pm)"[1]
(http://www.livejournal.com/users/ea_spouse/). The company, as of late
2004, is facing a class action suit [2]
