Working here is Epic

Recommend

Pros

Everyone is exceptionally talented. Very open with information. Company is nimble and makes good (sometimes difficult) decisions. Incredibly generous with employees. So much opportunity.

Cons

Near double the amount of possible work that our man-power can handle. We can't (and shouldn't) do everything, but the team wants to.

Pros

Epic takes extremely good care of their employees and puts a focus on having fun while making fun games. They encourage everybody to contribute ideas to our games and the best ideas make it into the games. You feel like you have a significant impact on the quality and content of every game you work on.

Cons

In the early days of Gears there were some very tight schedules but these days things are managed much more realistically and deadlines are very reasonable.

Pros

The people here are top notch or the best in their fields. Learning experiences such as conferences and seminars have never been rejected. Cost of living in the area is very reasonable. Licensing the Unreal Engine gives us a financial cushion that is a rarity in the video game industry.

Cons

We've lost some good people in the last few years, but it's allowed people to step up. As the company gets bigger it gets harder to connect with everyone and know exactly what they do. More managers are being hired as we grow which makes us lose the feeling of a small company.
