Pros

- Intesting projects and products. You constantly feel like you are helping deliver very cool things - Peopl are great, leadership encourages voicing feedback and you feel empowered to do your best work - Pay and benefits are the highest I have seen in the industry - Leadership really tries to help with work-life balance and encourages taking time off - There are always chances to progress in your career and move across disciplines if you want to pivot - Maybe the most important for me, Leadership cares about the consequences of what we put into the world. Being in a place where the priority are the players ten times out of ten and that will take decisions for the good of the users and employees over the good of the bottom line is very encouraging.

Cons

- Work life balance, when you are running a live game there is the inevitable fact that things will break eventually, and sometimes you have to fix them out of hours. This is less an Epic thing and more a "any studio with live products" thing.
