Epic Games reviews

No growth opportunities or raises at all. I've been here for 4 years and since then have only had 1 notable raise and no promotions. Constant turnover and loss of talent due to over-worked stress and no sense of work/life balance. Management are all incompetent and won't ever take accountability for their terrible actions. "Fast-paced" environment is what they tell you but it's just another way of saying they will over-work you and give you no rewards. C-suite is even more out of touch with their employees and consumers. Constant pivots and changes out of nowhere because some L8 or L9 didn't like it and no one will push back otherwise you get laid off. I was here since 2022 and it has just gone downhill ever since COVID. Layoffs are a clear indicator of a company under-performing and the fact that none of the people involved with the bad decisions were touched indicates that this will continue happening. Terrible place to grow and pay isn't much better.

1. Constant churn and chaos driven from an immature leadership. 2. Favoritism, nepotism, dates before quality and brash bullying from anyone who has a differing opinion than yours 3. It’s not what you know, it’s who you know. SLT has no clue what they are doing 4. Unrealistic crunch culture, don’t believe the reviews here, it’s still very much that way 5. As a Producer, I was not in the “in-club” and was left out of a lot of decision making (maybe because I was a contractor? Unsure) but they were favoriting Producers who promoted a culture there that was toxic, aggressive, regressive and borderline abusive. A certain set of producers ruled the kingdom and SLT was fine with it because they had less work to do. I’ve been in PMOs before, but this was a cast system and they liked it that way. 6. Unrealistic timelines, unresponsive coworkers, it’s not your average PMO game of push and pull, it’s all pull because nobody gets along here 7. My recommendation, look elsewhere if you seek to continue in the Producer field as you’ll be working late hours to make unrealistic launches possible with a SLT that doesn’t care about results, your wellbeing’s or how it gets done as long as it gets done. Children in charge here, no appreciation for making miracles happen and processes that don’t make sense.
