Epic reviews

It is hard to be recognized for your work, frankly. Also, while the software industry necessarily relies on a lot of smart people, those same people can display the stereotypical lack of interpersonal skills that you could expect from people who work with computers all day. This may not be a problem if you yourself are a gamer who considers quoting lines from Tarantino films to be small talk, but it does get tiring for the rest of us.

If you don't agree with your manager on the relative importance of things to be worked on, it can get rough. Managers do not help you balance priorities. They don't coach or direct you on how to choose what is important. They also do not coach you on how you can advance your career at Epic. The unspoken is that if you put in a ton of hours you will get promoted -- and rewarded with being asked to work even more hours. It is not uncommon to take on more work, but then never transition away any duties, so the net amount of work and hours keeps increasing.
