[Lula] Electronic Arts -Linux/Windows Administrator

[Shane Liesegang]

I know that to many Linux fans, EA is up there with Microsoft and SCO as 
a hated company, but I can honestly say that EALA is a really great 
place to work. I don't have any experience in working with IT, but every 
one that I've met and dealt with has been a standup, quality guy without 
the typical IT cynical detachment.

If anyone has any questions about working at EA, feel free to get in 
touch with me.
