Pros

Benefits are incredible, they trap you there. Many of the original employees are still wonderful to work with and maintain the culture as best they can.

Cons

Got way too big without being prepared. Having to overhaul EVERYTHING. Leadership can't seem to make a decision on anything except revoking some benefits. Absolutely floundering on whether or not to go back to the office leaving everyone in limbo. Can't get anything done because the amount of approvals is insane with such a top heavy business. Most in leadership are new, did not promote from within so culture is no longer existent.

Pros

- Amazing benefits and pay - Work with some of the most talented folks in the industry - Move quickly and ship a lot - Have the freedom to make a lot of impact - Not political and a no nonsense place, just a lot of talented and passionate folks wanting to do good work

Cons

- Company strategy can shift quickly which can feel chaotic for many people, change is a part of life at Epic - Lots of teams work long hours, not all teams but it’s common
