Pros

Pay/benefits are fantastic, especially for people without STEM degrees. Stocks and bonuses are great if you are an above-average performer. Pretty much guaranteed at least a ~5% raise or more every single year as long as you are meeting expectations. High performers can make way more than that.

Great first job. You have a lot of independence and freedom in your day-to-day, with very little to no micromanaging.

Epic will bend over backwards (with some exceptions) to make sure they keep high performers. They didn't fire/lay off/furlough a single employee during COVID and made sure everyone had meaningful work to do (even facilities, culinary, travel, etc., roles that had core roles rendered useless during a pandemic).

Work-life balance is great, but it's on you to make it happen. You can easily work 40-43 hours, but you have to learn to say no, otherwise, they'll keep asking more of you. Pay/raises are very related to how much effort/hours you put in.

Cons

The WFH/remote policy is far behind competitors and can turn people off or cause them to leave.

Upper management makes decisions that cause significant changes to day-to-day work for some roles with little input before the decision is made (requiring QA to do documentation, among others).
