Pros

- decent benefits - good coworkers - fun-looking campus - paid sabbatical for employees (if you don’t quit before then)

Cons

They were not honest about work hours and conditions in the interview. I got the impression in the interview that they were flexible about start times, where you worked, and how many hours— basically as long as you got the work done they didn’t care the time or place, Google kind of vibes. In training they said you can work what hours you want, but they really need you to be available 9-4. After a month of working there, I was told by my manager that I need to be working more like 50/55 even 60 hours per week instead of 40 (on a salary mind you with no overtime compensation.) I also had to be approved to work from home every month. Culture also felt kinda cultish. All in all, im not surprised why they were hiring 200+ people a month. A few months after I left the other woman on my team left. We were both there less than a year.

It's tough

Pros

I don't really have pros that are standout. Just some advice. This is not a place where you can slack off so that you will receive less work. Prepare yourself to put in full effort. The expectations will get higher every quarterly, so don't think that maintaining the same level of work/performance will cut it...that sort of level will last less than a year. I'd like to strongly emphasize that there is a tough learning curve, and I really think you need to spend time outside of work to reflect on it and see what you can do to make things better.

Cons

You will have to work a lot. (45 - 50 hours average) Your work life will be heavily dependent on your boss. Frankly, the people that get to cut off work at 40 hours is mainly attributed to their boss from my experience. If you have a poor boss/team, you will not have an option to move to a different team...it's just unlucky.

Pros

- Will hire graduates with liberal arts degrees - Will give those graduates immense responsibility early on with opportunity to earn trust and work more independently - Excellent job security if you can consistently meet and/or exceed expectations - Great raise and bonuses if you can consistently exceed expectations

Cons

- Unrealistically high expectations for new hires translates into high pressure and long working hours if you are not comfortable saying 'no' - Extremely process heavily, with little flexibility/agility in project work - Underwhelming benefits, especially compared to industry standards: 10 days PTO, 6.5 Holidays, 6 sick days, and 6 WFH days per year. No extreme weather WFH, no COVID/Flu WFH. - Out of touch upper management has trust issues with the rest of the company which leads to: - High turnover. Epic has trouble retaining talent because of their focus on WFW, lack of flexibility. - Expectations are clear and standardized across roles and there is not much room for you to step into areas of strength/interests.
