Lots of things to learn, nice lack of deadlines as everything is planned ahead.

Some teams are less nice, lower pay compared to US, some people bored, you have to interview again for leaping between departments.

Not worth it.

Business Outlook

Pros

The money. That’s really it.

Cons

I have never before experienced a company managed with such arrogance and hubris before Epic. Teams are overly political, the expectations for work are insane (constant crunch, no breaks ever, timelines 1 quarter of the duration you’d have at any sane company) not to mention it seems the whole company is held together with chewed up bubble gum and coffee stirring sticks and ready to collapse at any moment
