Pros

Best-in-class talent working on world's best technology Amazing, generous employee benefits

Cons

The company is a personality cult. The CEO isn't himself really driving it, but the president obsesses over everything and has created a organization-wide paranoia.

Pros

The money. That’s really it.

Cons

I have never before experienced a company managed with such arrogance and hubris before Epic. Teams are overly political, the expectations for work are insane (constant crunch, no breaks ever, timelines 1 quarter of the duration you’d have at any sane company) not to mention it seems the whole company is held together with chewed up bubble gum and coffee stirring sticks and ready to collapse at any moment

Pros

Competitive salaries Previously good bonus Decent benefits Some nice people Still some remote working

Cons

What was no doubt an epic place to work and create became too big, too quick. Over the years they have hired egos at the top and has become a dictatorial organisation where people are stuck and afraid to speak the truth. Very much cliques and success has little do do with doing well, much more who you know. Over the past year I have seen numerous colleagues leave of their own accord or suddenly departure without notice. Fortnite is no doubt a successful product that continues to profit. That said the profit went a lot further when we were a 500 person company vs now a 5000 person.
