EADP is one of the central teams within the company. By far, they have a much better experience than any of the product teams (less OT, lower expectations, less funding). Product teams are responsible to deliver on timelines regardless of the support they can get centrally, so teams like EADP get more opportunity to push back, and that pushback turns into OT on the product teams.

tl;dr: Central Team experience at EA is VASTLY different than being on a game team. It's great if you're on a central team at EA, but I'd never work on a game team if I enjoy seeing my family (plus EA pays at least 50% less than similar roles with skills that would still be needed outside of gaming)
