      Consistent good pay, mediocre long-term benefits. Great job, mediocre 'career' path.

      Pros

      Challenging work in a non-corporate atmosphere Fair to good autonomy working with healthcare organizations to solve issues creatively Consistent generous pay raises on an annual basis, salary gets to be difficult to part with. Ranking-based merit is however subjective and difficult to elicit how you're ranked. After the initial two difficult first years getting up-to-speed with lots of extra hours to bring up your competency, the hours get to be more manageable. Never expect a slow day though. We provide software to truly top-tier healthcare providers. It's great exposure to many organizations I'd consider working for directly if I were to leave Epic.

      Cons

      Benefits like 401K and parental leave are the bare minimum Aside from sabbatical benefits every 5 years, you never get more than 3 weeks' paid vacation. Work from home is rarely allowed; policy has become somehow more restrictive recently. Opportunities for advancement are few and far between unless you're solely interested in direct management of internal employees. Since those duties are on top of your day-to-day ones, it's not initially attractive.

      Good for resume, but takes advantage of inexperienced college grads

      Pros

      - Looks great on your resume if you can stay 2 years, especially if you want to stay in the healthcare industry or become a consultant - Great way to learn about the healthcare industry - Amazing product IF implemented correctly - Medical insurance benefits can't be beat - Since almost everyone works from the Madison campus, it is a great way to network and meet incredibly smart and talented people

      Cons

      - Very unhealthy ranking system. They boast about having a very "flat" corporate ladder, however they give bonuses and raises based on some obscure ranking they do, leaving employees wondering why they didn't make as much as their friends. - (For developers) Very outdated code language. Pretty much no company knew about it when I started applying to other places. - Takes advantage of the fact that most of their new hires have never had a job before and makes them think that the perks (free juice and popcorn) are worth the workload (12+ hr work days, insane amount of travel, endless meetings). You can get SO much more at other companies. Which is why most people don't even stick it out 5 years for their sabbatical. - Company culture is horrible. For a company that gets criticized about hiring people straight out of college, they still treat their employees (of all ages) like children. Drinking is not allowed at any event - you can't even go to a random restaurant in Madison with Epic in the reservation name (ie: Epic club softball team) and order a bottle of wine. If you are caught having a drink with a client, you can get fired. This notion that Epic employees are irresponsible kids is extremely disrespectful...my friend even got a drink with the VP of the company, and he would not buy him a $3 beer. - They are religiously insensitive. You get a list of holidays to choose from to take a "flex" holiday and not a single one is a Jewish holiday. I asked HR if I could use my flex holiday so I could go home for Yom Kippur, and they said allowing this would be a slippery slope. So, I could take the Monday after Easter off, but not the most important Jewish holiday. - Wasted time in 2.5 hr staff meetings where the CEO reviews the same exact slides she reviewed the month before.

      Pros

      - Great health, life, and dental insurance - High pay, with bonuses around 15% of your salary for project managers - Cool culture, you can wear what you want, get chocolates on your birthday, pie on pi day, etc. - Just a bunch of nerdy young adults, it's a great place to meet people from across the country straight of college - Lots of opportunity to travel

      Cons

      - Expect a lot of hours, 60 is considered average and there were months when I was doing 75 every week - Few vacation days (2 weeks for new hires, and then 3 weeks after you reach 2 years) - While the infrastructure is there, it can be difficult to give negative feedback successfully to higher ups - Most of the people you start with will quit within the first 18 months
