Pros

They have great food and a beautiful campus, and the coworkers generally all got along

Cons

The management is inept, hiring their friends instead of people who really understand what it's like to work. The salary is great, which I guess they use as leverage to make people work longer hours -- and, as those they hire are typically new to working real jobs, we do. One of my coworkers actually brought a sleeping bag (but didn't use it) and worked 24 hours straight -- I came to his manager as a warning, who told me he would talk to him...When he did, he congratulated him. The work-life balance is non-existent -- they expect Epic to be your life. With good people and good food, it's hard not to -- but I think it's unhealthy for a job like this to be your life. Also taking advantage of the salaried employees, they expect them to take on more than their job title. They encourage "creativity" but what they really want is for you to give your whole mind, body and soul to the company. I love Judy, the CEO: she does this, and it makes sense. But it doesn't make sense for the people just starting to be under so much pressure.
