Epic Games

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.

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.

It's become abundantly clear that people are just numbers to you. Your focus is on milking every single employee for every ounce of work they have in order to further line your wallet—while simultaneously removing HUGE Quality of Life benefits from employees. 2022 is going to be the worst year at Epic yet, and I cannot imagine many people wanting to stick around through this.
