Anyone work at Epic Games legal? Curious to know what the culture is like, and if leadership treats you like a person, not a rat in a rat race. I have a pending interview with them for a counsel position

They were a client of mine. Absolutely wild from my perspective. They were super interesting and fun, but their ideas were very, very out there. I can’t say much, but they had a massive “the rules don’t apply to us, and if they do, they shouldn’t” attitude. I’d describe them as a company I’d love to be involved with but not as a lawyer, if that makes sense.
