The campus keeps things interesting. The food is good, and the benefits are good (including free stock that the company buys back from you when you leave). The company culture surrounding feedback creates a fairly safe space to give constructive criticism, and personally, I liked the people I worked with.
Managers are encouraged to be hypercritical and employees are pushed to work 50+ hour weeks.
It’s challenging to maintain work-life balance.
There’s little to no flexibility around work from home (you get 5 days per year for now plus extreme weather days).
Diversity is not great (software developers were overwhelmingly male; teams I saw had less than 1 female developer for every 20 male ones).
Give more work from home.
I had to take a lot of tests and had a phone interview where I talked about my past projects. The tests were hours long and took a long time.
30-minute phone screen, then an OA around 4 hours long. The OA had mental math, but also a few LeetCode-type problems. They were not very difficult if you studied common patterns and implementation.
One single virtual interview after a multihour OA. The interview was 4 hours long, but only ~2 hours was actual interview stuff. The rest was two presentations from different people about life at Epic. The 2 hours of interview included a case study,
