Pros

The people are awesome and the company culture encourages working as a team. The salary, benefits and bonuses are fantastic.

Cons

Can be a bit fragmented and tricky finding the right people to help if you are working on functionality from another part of the Engine. The products (UE, Fortnite) are huge which can make working practices a bit frustrating.
