Epic Games Reviews

Pros

People are nice, good work place, nice career development, free lunches and dinners everyday, and generous bonus.

Cons

Crunching sometimes and to stay on call if you are on release.

Pros

If you’re male, it may be a fine place to work if you’re single and have no desire for an outside-of-work life.

Cons

It runs like a high school popularity contest. Many people are an embarrassment, but they are kept because they schmooze and play up to the highers’ egos. There are many racist and sexist things said daily at work.

Pros

People centric, sophisticated, top talent, no egos

Cons

Long Hours will be counter effective yo the work life balance

Pros

To help workers under stress.

Cons

Running out of coffee beans sometimes toilet paper.

Advice to Management

Stay happy and do your best.

Pros

Literally nothing good to work with this company

Cons

Worst project managers in the history of project managers

Pros

* Base salary on par or higher than industry standard for roles but in an area with a significantly lower cost of living that most games studios are located. * Wonderful benefits/health care. Best I've seen in my career. Zero out of pocket for basic and most advanced health care. * Company shares in profits with quarterly bonuses. Many of these bonuses have exceed base salary per bonus and when that's not the case, you're still compensated quite well. * Driven and forward-loooking studio heads who want to keep pushing forward technology and the industry. Epic seems set up for long term success. * Haven't seen mass layoffs for full time employees since I've been here and there doesn't seem to be any threat of this at all. * Family friendly. Lots of families at the studio and Epic takes care of them with additional benefits and activities, which is a nice plus. I've seen Epic go above and beyond to take care of its employees/families on more than one occasion. * While work can be challenging and demanding I haven't personally had any pressure to work exceedingly long hours. The quality of my work (and managing my own time and delivering on time) is more important than how many hours I've spent in the office.

Cons

* The company tends to make quick decisions and quickly change course. This is a strength in a lot of ways, but also means things can be rather hectic and work can be demanding. "Demanding" can be personal pressure to perform or time. This kind of environment probably isn't for everyone (but the compensation seems worth it).

Pros

-Some of the best benefits in any industry -Still acts like small company so everyone has a voice -Management acknowledges hard work and shows appreciation -Only the best tech is used here

Cons

-Lots of new people, some teams are dealing with cultural rebalancing -Ever changing products means things happen fast

Advice to Management

I think the endgame is to hire enough so folks have more time to try new things. Keep working toward that.

Pros

Great benefits, great food, good management, ability to climb the corporate ladder.

Cons

Everything was ship-shape and good.

Advice to Management

Keep doing well.
