Pros

Interesting campus, fantastic food for cheap, VERY smart co-workers, software is incredible (if extremely complex); wildly successful corporation

Cons

Rarely is one's best work considered good enough. There is always fault to be found. Never before have I heard these phrases uttered so often: leadership by fear, viper pit, thrown under the bus, cover your ass, fly under the radar. The "Judy spotlight" is dreadful and should be avoided at all costs. I arrived at Epic with a ton of experience and high performance ratings. I worked hard. I was engaged and contributed. I succeed at several significant projects where my predecessors has struggled. I was one of the few people who could survive "Judy review" on the first pass. My family life suffered because I was working all the time. I left feeling like I was worthless.
