Pros

Competitive salaries Previously good bonus Decent benefits Some nice people Still some remote working

Cons

What was no doubt an epic place to work and create became too big, too quick. Over the years they have hired egos at the top and has become a dictatorial organisation where people are stuck and afraid to speak the truth. Very much cliques and success has little do do with doing well, much more who you know. Over the past year I have seen numerous colleagues leave of their own accord or suddenly departure without notice. Fortnite is no doubt a successful product that continues to profit. That said the profit went a lot further when we were a 500 person company vs now a 5000 person.

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.
