Epic Software Developer reviews

- As a "software developer", you will also be responsible for high-level project investigation, design, and planning. You will be given a one-sentence summary of a feature and be responsible for everything from that point up to a finished, released product. They hire a small number of designers and end-users for devs to consult/collaborate with, but UX/project scope/etc is always still your responsibility in the end. - The company has a strong culture of overwork. CEO advocates for "work-life mixture" instead of work-life balance. They would rather pay an undersized staff generously to work them in perpetual overtime than hire enough people to do the work at a healthy pace. Some team leads will shield you from this to an extent, but if you get one that doesn't, the company will not step in to save you. - Little vacation time. Very few WFH days (~5 days in a year). - Tech stack is arcane and your experience will be largely inapplicable to the rest of the industry. - Micromanagement of inconsequential deadlines is common. All employees have to log their work in 15-minute increments.

- Mandatory in-office work - Steep learning curve
