Pros

Salary, Benefits, Health Insurances, Flexible times.

Cons

Tim has a long-term vision, but this doesn't ripple down as the company works with chaotic chain of command. Most departments are driven by engineering directors with short-term vision (rarely beyond 6 month), leading to inefficiencies and tech-debt. Many intermediate decisions aren't user-centered, but a default non-choice for the benefit of some cowboy programmers let loose with toxic egos, dismissive attitudes and poor product design skills.

- 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

Pros

+ Excellent benefits + Really cool people to work with + Projects are exciting, if stressful

Cons

- Project/Product Management isn't consistent across teams, making it really hard to collaborate between the tech teams. There's no real top-down facilitation of Scrum or other SLCD - As you probably are aware, the company has had multiple layoffs. Job security is in flux
