Pros

Great company with amazing colleagues from all over the world. The culture at Epiphany is unique and can't compare to that of the previous companies that I've worked for. As a developer you get a lot of freedom to build great and innovative (new) products, learn a lot about the latest technologies and share your knowledge with other colleagues. It's an inspiring and motivating atmosphere with an ambitious team. With bi-weekly academy sessions, we learn each other about development related topics. And after a successful sprint, we definitely like to celebrate this together with the whole team. Besides working hard together with the developers, designers, research managers and consultants there is also room for nice trips and awesome Friday drinks. Our short 'workation' to Ibiza last year was really amazing and a trip on the `Epiphany 2` at the Amsterdam canals in the summer during lunch is something we do regularly.

Cons

When I started at Epiphany RBC the onboarding wasn't that great. The company was in a scale-up phase and the company structure wasn't always clear. I have to say that both things definitely improved over the last year and the company is professionalizing quickly.

Pros

The company is mostly sustained by talented young international professionals.

Cons

For those considering a role at Epiphany RBC, proceed with caution. While the company presents itself as a dynamic international consultancy, in reality, it operates as a small organisation with a rigid, centralised leadership structure that leaves no room for alternative perspectives. It is entirely controlled by its founder, who dictates every aspect of operations, including HR processes. Hiring, promotions, and terminations are based on personal discretion rather than standardised evaluation criteria. The work culture is toxic and unpredictable, with employees facing shifting expectations and last-minute demands. Despite promoting itself as a fast-paced environment, inefficiencies stem from poor internal organisation and reactive leadership. Management deliberately fosters a culture of internal competition, creating a hostile and distrustful workplace. Career progression depends on personal alignment with leadership rather than merit or professional contributions. Promises of development are hollow—there are no structured growth opportunities, and independent thinking is actively discouraged. Responsibilities change abruptly, with no transparency about long-term career prospects. High turnover is a constant issue. A significant portion of the workforce consists of former interns who remain simply because of the ongoing cycle of departures. Employee retention is not a priority, and well-being is disregarded. Although the company publicly champions diversity, its internal culture tells a different story. Leadership frequently makes culturally insensitive remarks, and feedback is neither welcomed nor acted upon. The management style is outdated and authoritarian, reinforcing a culture of toxicity and dysfunction.

Pros

Supportive and friendly colleagues International and social work environment A good place to gain experience if you're early in your career

Cons

The CEO fosters a toxic, micromanaged environment where everyone is dispensable Frequent sexist and racist remarks by CEO dismissed as “humor” when concerns are raised No real career development unless you conform to leadership’s expectations Financial mismanagement—no salary raises for two years A dictatorship-style leadership that stifles innovation and employee growth
