Pros

While nothing is perfect, Epic (specifically working on Fortnite) has been the best experience I've had in my 20 years in the industry My coworkers are world class, my leads and production are intelligent, competent and able to schedule and communicate great ideas effectively, the tech is obviously great and the compensation is amazing. Yes, GAAS is a lot of work and can be stressful but I have an infinitely better work life balance here than I did working on horribly managed traditional games in the past

Cons

I wish they would embrace full time WFH, the push to return to the still unbuilt Mega HQ building is very dated thinking and the only real negative.

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.
