Pros

The individuals at an IC level are incredibly talented and passionate. The amount of things you can learn from some of the literal best in the world is immeasurable and if you're someone who loves to learn and push what's possible - you'll be surrounded by like minded folks

Cons

Our CEO and COO have shifted aggressively toward valuing the money in their individual pockets over the quality of life of their entire employee base. They'll happily remove a company benefit that is a 30% increase to quality of life if it means 5% more money in their pocket. Unfortunately, both individuals who are making waterfall decisions for the company are also widely unavailable or will not respond to email trying to have conversations around how compromises can be met. They genuinely just don't care about anyone but themselves anymore and it's heartbreaking having been here for 10 years to watch that happen.

Pros

I really loved my time at Epic. I know every department is different, but you really can't beat the work-life balance and benefits, including 2 weeks off in the summer and 2 weeks off in the winter AND unlimited PTO. It helps that I had an amazing manager - that makes or breaks anything. Most people are a pleasure to work with - I've only run into 1 or 2 bad apples in almost 2 years.

Cons

Not a lot of diversity at the C-Suite level.
