Epic Games reviews

- This is one of the worst leadership teams I've ever had the displeasure of being associated with - They are cowards who don't know how to have tough conversations, performance system is a joke where you can't know your rating, managers dont know the salaries of their employees and everyone just puts on a plastic smile because they all get quarterly bonuses - This is a very juvenile and emotionally stunted executive team with no actual business experience scaling, strategizing or running companies, and after several bad acquisitions and swearing in June they weren't doing layoffs, they did a 20% layoff including FOUR companies that had just been acquired. They pulled me out of consulting for the worst year of my life and a good reminder of why I went into HR Consulting.

Epic used to have a family cohesive unit mentality. They have abandoned that and have gone much more corporate. Lost a little bit of personal touch there. TONS of veteran employees left – some to work for the competition. But lots of new talent coming in. Last minute / do not plan ahead for large tasks; then upset when it takes forever to implement or why there are problems. Very typical = “I knew about this for 2 weeks, but I’m telling you today, could care less if you are here till 2am, I need this. Can this be done by tomorrow so we can present it live on GTV? No? Well, it needs to be done…” Unfortunately if it causes issues, you are to blame, not the person who waited till last minute.
