Pros

- Intelligent coworkers - Challenging, meaningful work - Excellent culinary team - Competitive pay (at least for Software Developers) for Madison's cost-of-living

Cons

- Upper management is out of touch with rank and file employees - Upper management attempts to force culture unnecessarily - Little transparency around even highly impactful decisions - Repeated recent incidents of suppressing feedback and quashing dissent - Awful COVID response that did not take employee well-being into account - Excessively resistant to any reasonable work-from-home compromises

Pros

Base Salary - (although see below, total comp is lower than other places) Some really thoughtful coworkers Good culinary

Cons

Not great benefits beyond base salary - you have to pay for your stock - it feels very ponzi-scheme-esque Antiquated development platforms - At Epic, homegrown first tends to be the norm which is a huge detriment. That means a lot of time is wasted filling in bugs on internal software or working around limitations as opposed to standing on shoulders of existing platforms. You don't get great experience that you can reuse elsewhere. Brain drain - all the good people are leaving. That means that the other comments you read about great coworkers, they will probably not still be here by the time you start. No WFH - You may think - "I don't really want WFH, I want to meet people." but think about it this way - are you going to feel that way long term? Are you going to feel that way every day? Like when you're sick and still going in? Also think about the kind of company that is so inflexible they won't allow WFH during a pandemic. That lack of flexibility doesn't just stay here. Because you're overworked (50 hours+) - it is very difficult to leave and apply for other places. Diversity is not taken seriously - similar to how WFH doesn't exist here, neither does appreciation for diversity. Again - do you want to work at a place in the wake of George Floyd and other murders who says DEI doesn't have a spot in the workplace? Do you want to work with coworkers who feel the same way?
