Pros

Allowed you to travel to any office with little approval

Cons

Unfortunately, my experience was far from positive. Epic was extremely top-heavy, with too many layers of management and little attention given to the actual teams doing the work. This resulted in poor communication, unnecessary bureaucracy, and a lack of direction. One of the most frustrating aspects of working here was the complete disregard for work-life balance. The workload was consistently overwhelming, and yet, there was little to no recognition or support for the extra effort put in. As teammates were burned out or left for better opportunities, the remaining employees had to pick up the slack, with no compensation or pay raises to reflect the increased responsibilities. On top of that, the company’s financial mismanagement became apparent over time. Despite strong performance from individual teams, the leadership seemed unable to manage the budget effectively. This resulted in frequent layoffs, reduced headcount, and morale plummeting across the board. It became clear that the company prioritized its bottom line over the well-being of its employees. In the end, I would not recommend Epic to anyone looking for a healthy work environment. The lack of leadership, poor financial management, and disregard for employee well-being left me feeling undervalued and demotivated.
