Pros

Free lunch, 7 weeks of PTO (2 mid summer, 2 at year end, 3 employees choice) which is needed to recover from the work stress.

Cons

Poor pay, long hours, no profit sharing, non-reliable bonus pay-off, poor 401k matching. 30-year-old company with a start-up mentality of management, and no structure about strategy. No one is in control and everyone wants control. Toxic workplace, with alcohol and weapons being allowed in the buildings - both approved by HR.

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
