Vantaggi
Up until a few months ago, Epic lived up to its name. Great people, a product to be proud of, flexible work environment and supportive, transparent leadership. Dream company. But that has changed.
Svantaggi
Epic was acquired by BYJU’s. Read their reviews and the reviews for Osmo that was also acquired. Budgets weren’t approved for months, hiring came to a standstill, departments that had been promised growth weren’t able to even replace those who left. And then last week, they laid off almost a third of the company (hard to tell how many because they haven’t said but you can tell who’s gone on slack). Morale is at an all time low for those left. And severance packages were two weeks for many. That’s not a severance, that’s a 2 weeks notice. BYJU’s is not a bootstrapped start up but a $20B company. Even in the current market, with less revenue than expected, they could afford to be humane. Sad to see such a great place be destroyed.
