Pros

Epipheo pretty much launched the explainer video industry. It was able to communicate, in a few minutes, what it took Google 45 minutes to say. Google became their first client and the rest was history. Epipheo is full of some of the most fun, friendly, and creative humans you could ever hope to meet. Co-worker culture is next-to-none, client work is generally interesting, and it's a pretty casual and trusting atmosphere. You can work from home when you need to, bring your family in for lunch, and dress however you want. Epipheo cares a lot about telling stories which infiltrates, not only the work they do, but the culture they build. The CEO is approachable. For most people, it's the best place they've ever worked.

Cons

For many, it's also the worst place they've ever worked. You can count on an organizational change every three months, which leaves people rarely feeling settled, wondering when the next round of layoffs will be, and questioning whether or not upper management has any clue what they're doing. Most "experiments" either die because lack of follow through or because leadership read a new book about the next new and shiny thing to try. Epipheo is also struggling to shed its reputation of being 'Christian' and 'patriarchal', which comes from the fact that everyone in leadership is a Christian male and tend to hire ex-ministry (ex-Crossroads) people like them. Lack of diversity has been a huge conversation point for the past year or two.

Pros

Epipheo has done a stellar job of cultivating a very healthy company culture with employees who want to do a good job, and be good people. The work is varied and interesting, and caters to a whole host of other industries. Leadership is very transparent with their outlook and intent, and regularly communicates with the rest of the company. Epipheo is also employee-owned, so the people who work there have stake in the company. The team really emphasizes you having a life outside of the job, so it’s very rare that a project will require any kind of overtime.

Cons

There are no clear pathways for any kind of professional advancement. Some people have been there for over 10 years working in the same position. It’s a smaller company, so that’s understandable, but it can be frustrating trying to find ways to increase your earnings. I’m grateful for the standard 3% raises, but they were always outpaced by inflation — but that’s not Epipheo’s fault.
