An employer that truly cares about each employee and their family.

Pros

The company is very aware of each employee and their happiness at work. Food and entertainment is supplied, as well as a full gym and quiet rooms. With the happiness of the employees of the utmost importance, they are able to attract the most talented people in the industry as well as keep their current employees at their best performance. During company meetings, there is a Q and A session, so all employees can ask the CEO anything (nothing is off limits). There are quarterly meetings with a random group of employees to get suggestions of what management can do to make Epic a better place. The company frequently organizes parties and events that are family friendly.

Cons

There is a bit of a hierarchy here, in spite of attempts to keep everything equal. The difference in pay between some jobs is quite (obviously) very large. There are some things the company is quick to spend money on (TVs, special events, etc), but some of their employees really miss out.

Pros

The people here work together very well and all have the same goals in mind. People aren't locked into their own ways of thinking. Change and "making it better" are seen as positive things.

Cons

Some tasks can be underestimated during the initial planning.

Best place I have ever worked for

Pros

This is possibly the last company in America that actually treats its employees like people. You'd be hard pressed to find a more comprehensive or employee-focused benefits package. Work hours are very flexible (no core hours) and the work is extremely self-directed. Need I say more?

Cons

It's in North Carolina, which is only really a con until you get here and see how cool the area is. The trees and the cosmopolitan atmosphere will surprise you.
