Pros

- You are really given a lot of freedom after you finish training to choose what you want to work on and how you will complete tasks. There are rarely people watching over your shoulder and the atmosphere feels very free. I love this and I love how I'm not tied to a strict schedule. People are generally really nice and there is very little concept of shaming for not knowing something since there are always a handful of new people in your department. - The salary is probably the highest i could have gotten right out of college. - You get an office to yourself as a developer. - The campus is amazing. - You get access to very delicious, healthy food at a subsidized price. A good solid meal under $4 is available every day from their cafeterias.

Cons

- The training is brutal. You are given six months to complete it and you won't get your full salary until you do (I got a reduced $90k salary until I finished). I completed it under 3 months but for other departments it may take longer. The training is just incredibly boring and, at least for developers, fairly isolating as most of it is self study. - It is a little hard to get to know people because the company is so big. Don't count on making a load of friends as developers tend to hide in their offices all day. - 2 week (10 days) paid vacation for the first 2 years is ridiculous. That is why I'm giving 3/5 stars for benefits. Epic should be giving 3 weeks like a normal company. - If you are not self motivated, do not try to be a developer here.
