Pros

Good place if you want a career in healthcare. That's about the only good thing. Also pretty campus and good food. you get to travel as part of work. This might be good place for a developer for the first 1-2 years in the sense that they can get a sense of general development life cycle. Not really anything great int terms of engineering.

Cons

- No Career progression. - You 'll end up doing same thing after 10 years here - no transferable skillset in terms of technology - Highly dependent on luck and the TL you get - I've had more than 6 TL's over last 3 years of mine. none of these changes are my fault. Everything was moving around modules and TL's between teams. - No visibility/feedback on performance other. You will be greeted with a bell curve anytime you ask feedback. -Many developers leave Epic and you'll find quarter your team gone in every year.

Pros

1. The work is challenging and dynamic. No two weeks or even days are the same, and working in this environment really builds soft skills such as time management, task prioritization, customer communication including written and verbal, and complex critical thinking skills. 2. Compensation and benefits are outlandishly great for a midwest company and on par with similar firms in areas that are two or three times the cost of living. 3. Good culture with strong values. You don't always have to agree with them, but continual and constant emphasis ensures culture is pervasive and well known. 4. Campus/food/location - if you're looking for an urban experience, Epic is not for you. Otherwise, the location in beautiful Verona, WI spread across 1000 acres is amazing, and we take pride in our campus and what it represents (permanence, collaboration, community). 5. Career advancement - a lot of responsibility and freedom out of the gate, and those who sharpen their skills the fastest also advance meteorically. Non-traditional footprint approach rather than ladder approach, so if a "senior director" title is what you're after, look elsewhere. 6. Working at the bleeding edge of healthcare and technology, two industries which constantly change and which are constantly in need, is fun!

Cons

Staff are not directly taught to set personal boundaries and prioritize work/life balance. This is up to the individual in many cases and those who do it well (or learn it quickly) have long, successful careers at Epic. Those who are unwilling or unable to learn these skills usually end up burning out.

It's a Facade

Pros

- Nice money for a job right out of college - At first, you think the campus is cool - Travel, if that's you're thing (I thought it was mine until I started working here) - Good stepping stone for a lot of other jobs in the future

Cons

- You're stuck in Madison, WI - The campus is the most impractical thing ever. It takes me 45 minutes to walk to a 30 minute meeting. - The company doesn't care about their employees. Vacation is the absolute minimum, the travel counselors force awful itineraries, and management doesn't have their employees' backs. - At the end of the day, you're a vendor. The customers you work with could either be great or the worst and if they ARE the worst, you have no control over making it better. You'll get stuck doing others' jobs for them and without any sort of recognition or support.
