Compensated well, especially for entry-level positions. Benefits (insurance, 4-week sabbaticals) are quite good.
Upper management is stuck in an antiquated startup mindset. Extremely minimal remote work options. Middle management varies but has little power to change your situation. For customer service roles, experience/success depends largely on your customers. Work-life balance is nearly impossible.

Hello, epic systems people. I am getting an epic offer soon for SWE new grad role and I don't know what to expect. I have seen numbers from 85k-130k on different websites(levels.fyi, glassdoor, blind). What number should I aim for? #epic #epicsystems
Can we get some numbers? Pre Fortnite and now? Is this paid out yearly, like a bonus? Interested in this since Epic is private and does not offer RSU

Got through the many rounds of interviews at Epic, internal recruiter seemed mega positive, then got hit with a "this position is potentially no longer being offered" last week. Nothing since.

I have two offers from Faire and Epic Games, but I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out which I should for. Epic is cash heavy and is well established, while Faire is offering higher TC but at an obviously increased risk due to part of the TC being equity. Do you think the extra TC is worth the i...Read more

I have a principal level offer from epic games and I’m seriously considering it (didn’t think I would) because the work is super interesting and people tell me the WLB is great. How is the engineering culture there? And can someone explain how the bonuses work? The guaranteed bonus for the first 2...Read more
What is Epic Games IP assignment policy? Currently I'm at Google and they make a very broad and aggressive claim to all IP I generate, even on the weekend and not using Google equipment. I don't have an offer yet so haven't seen the employment agreement, but can I expect to see the same policies at ...Read more
I have two offers, one for Epic (Madison, WI) and one for C1 (Richmond, VA or Plano, TX). After all the costs and stipends are factored in, I would be making pretty much the same at each company. In my sophmore year, so I'm not too worried about a return offer, just want one that will help me have a...Read more

I was wondering if Epic Games offers stock options? I am aware that you get a base salary plus quarterly bonuses. But I saw few places where stock options were also mentioned. #tech #epicgames
I'm considering taking an offer from Epic Games. It's a great offer and I love the company, the only problem is the large variable bonus which isn't part of the contract. I understand it's a large chunk of TC (half? more?), but not guaranteed similar to how most investment banks/hedge funds work. Th...Read more
