Epic Games reviews

1. Constant churn and chaos driven from an immature leadership. 2. Favoritism, nepotism, dates before quality and brash bullying from anyone who has a differing opinion than yours 3. It’s not what you know, it’s who you know. SLT has no clue what they are doing 4. Unrealistic crunch culture, don’t believe the reviews here, it’s still very much that way 5. As a Producer, I was not in the “in-club” and was left out of a lot of decision making (maybe because I was a contractor? Unsure) but they were favoriting Producers who promoted a culture there that was toxic, aggressive, regressive and borderline abusive. A certain set of producers ruled the kingdom and SLT was fine with it because they had less work to do. I’ve been in PMOs before, but this was a cast system and they liked it that way. 6. Unrealistic timelines, unresponsive coworkers, it’s not your average PMO game of push and pull, it’s all pull because nobody gets along here 7. My recommendation, look elsewhere if you seek to continue in the Producer field as you’ll be working late hours to make unrealistic launches possible with a SLT that doesn’t care about results, your wellbeing’s or how it gets done as long as it gets done. Children in charge here, no appreciation for making miracles happen and processes that don’t make sense.

Leadership creates a toxic and unsafe culture. Teams are pushed to the limit to hit unrealistic objectives, while executives take zero accountability for outcomes or how people are treated. My experience with the President is especially negative. His leadership style is self-serving, manipulative, ego-driven, and consistently dismissive of employee wellbeing, all of which causes high turnover and burns out talented colleagues. Working with him isn't leadership, it's survival. HR won’t publish the numbers, but if you do the math yourself, roughly 3 out of 4 Directors and Senior Directors don’t even make it a full year under his leadership. He carefully ensures that candidates do not speak with peers at that level during interviews for roles under him.
