Pros: I have nothing but great things to say about Epic. They have been great to me and my family. I couldn't ask for a better employer. I've heard of others being overworked or mistreated. I can't say I've ever seen that personally. They have always been fair in what they expected from me. As for the other reviews, many of them aren't fair in my opinion. If you'll notice, the average rating dropped a ton when Epic asked employees to come back around Aug of 2020 while COVID was still happening. Many claimed Epic wasn't listening. If you look back at history, it turns out they did change their mind. They've also changed their mind on a couple of other choices. I don't think Epic is perfect. No company is, but many were too quick to throw Epic under the bus in my opinion. It is a good company with good principles. I'm looking forward to working here for many more years.

Cons: I do wish I could work remote after COVID. Maybe they will change their minds. That said, I understand why that hasn't been allowed in the past, and I support it.

Pros: Pay is acceptable. I try at work because I care about the work. The company strongly believes in itself and it's going places... slowly. New development is in C# / .NET, not VB. You can get a different job after working here. I enjoy working with my coworkers. I have always had the freedom to take on interesting projects so long as those projects are also difficult. Your coworkers will try. Senior devs don't want to leave, don't want to be promoted so never reach incompetence, and they will never get laid off, so there's a pool of knowledge about the legacy code whose memory stretches back decades. You can just go down the hall and ask these devs why something is like X, and half the time they remember who wrote it and why off the top of their heads. The company has been continuously improving itself for years, and you will want for nothing - great food, free drinks, and cool things on campus to see are all readily available. There is no beer, but eh, close enough.

Cons: You'll work more than 40 hours a week, and 45 hours a week is ideal. You'll never be paid as much as you would be paid at a FAANG (although you'll work a lot less, so...) You can get promoted easily once, and it's physically possible to be promoted twice, but more jumps are not possible. Also, being promoted means more work but not more pay, so why bother?

Pros: - Great for new grads - Healthy pay raises and bonuses

Cons: - Location - 5 days in office - Expected to work long hours - Poor work-life balance
