Vantaggi
Nice in-house work out facility with private showers and all the amenities. Great pay too! Excellent dual-monitor setup at every desk. Development staff get the newest machines as opposed to other places that give execs and business people the best. Beautiful enclosed outdoor garden/patio with outdoor kitchen. Management truly wants to grow the company into a world class software development company.
Svantaggi
The problem starts at the top and consists of a lack of team mentality. The CEO's teams are set up to compete with one another rather than to team together to accomplish a task. That mentality flows all the way to the worker bees. As a result, management is constantly pivoting and moving people to new teams and projects to support those pivots. Unfortunately they seldom take the time, or have the time to do so in a way that retains people's motivation. It seems apparent from the top down, that Epiq believes that the salary they pay you earns them the right to control you to a level that removes autonomy, self-respect, personal choice, and pride in workmanship. Professionals who come into this company expecting to be treated as such are going to be sorely disappointed. They treat their employees as though they don't trust them and put control points at every turn. They dictate what wallpaper you have on your screen (in fact, they disable your ability to change it). They dictate what your email signature must look like (no variance allowed). It appears that managers are chosen based on how well they network with other managers. I've seen some really poor leadership here, and then seen those incredibly poor leaders get promoted to manager. I'm appalled by this institutionalized approach to failing.
