I thought EA left australia back in 1999, they were based on the Gold Coast back then.
They have distribution and payroll offices on the Gold Coast they now opperate out of the top floor of Australia Fair. (The old southport library) But yeah? EA Melbourne what tha....
The theory around here is that it might be a hoax, nothing on the EA website.
EA have posted job ads on Sumea before, and the person I correspond with has a legitimate EA email address.
I've sent them an email asking a few questions about EA in Melbourne (I'm curious as well!), but I have no doubts on the legitimacy of this job.
EA have had a small dev team (read 1) in Melbourne for many years. He is an v.experinced developer who worked in the US but decided he wanted to return. Rather than lose him EA set him up with their Melbourne sales and marketing team.
Since then the team has grown a bit, but it is still relatively small.
I know the people involved, its not a hoax.
Ahh that makes a lot of sesne now.
That's pretty much the same details I received back from my email.
The email address is certainly legitimate, it's Toni Bingham-Rolls who is a Senior HR Generalist for EA based in Southport, Qld.
Wow the evil empire right here in Melbourne . . . :P
Sounds like the team needs a shit kicker, wonder what they are working on.
oops PS3
