Pros
tldr; Fired day before stock vesting, Manager baits you to quit so you don't get unemployment, Managers really want you to do nothing controversial as nothing can come back on them. I worked hard, (dev metrics were in the top 25% every quarter). This resulted in me recieving more feedback than most developers because i did more stuff. I also worked on controversial work that sparked lots of design discussion (I am a 3 year dev, I am not dumb and know what we were doing was difficult, new, and unproved) As a result, my team lead noticed the high issue counts on designs and started micro-managing me to "get better". He started saying stuff like my time logging was inaccurate, i actually spent 5 hours on something instead of 6 like my time log said. Anyways, after 1 year they just had a bunch of meaningless stuff like this they used to fire me right before stock vesting. Iv'e seen the same thing happen to four of my team members and I should have saw it comming. Did i deserve to be fired? I don't think so, I think if i said yes id be drinking my TLs copium.
Cons
Epic is a great place to work if you want to be offered stock options that could never actually vest. The whole way they make money is people leaving before the break even point. - math not included
