Pros

Opportunity to shape position into something interesting, ability to lead high-profile internal projects, ability to lead and manage others within first year, young and energetic staff, good compensation after first year, Madison is a great college town to live in

Cons

Work/life balance non-existent (long hours, 50% travel, need more recovery days for traveling on weekend), lack of recognition, lack of employee involvement in company strategy (everyone is a worker bee except CEO and her handful of staff), overworked employees due to fast growth that hiring can't keep up with, high turnover leads to a sea of new employees with very few experienced employees to mentor and teach them

Pros

The coworkers are fantastic. I can count on people I work with to be smart and good at their jobs and to help me when I need it. I feel like what I work on makes a real difference in people's lives, helping doctors and nurses take better care of patients. Overall, the company is ethical in its dealings with customers and generous with charities. The compensation is generous. Upper management communicates at length with employees in monthly staff meetings, so you know more about what's going on than you would at many companies. It is privately owned, so you can be confident things won't change abruptly in unpredictable ways due to acquisition, merger, or generally stockholder pressure. Epic is a process based company, and the processes have logic behind them.

Cons

The form opinions about people quickly, and it can be hard to change them. The flat hierarchy is good for many things, but "advancement" in terms of higher titles and more official authority are frequently unavailable. If you get a less experienced manager (which can easily happen), you need to help him or her manage you or you can end up with too much work, and I see plenty of younger employees who struggle with this. Internal development management tools are awkward, and improvement of them isn't a high enough priority.

Pros

You constantly challenged and rewarded when you succeed. There is always something new and you are getting experience at an age where you wouldn't get it elsewhere.

Cons

Epic doesn't know the meaning of work/life balance. They expect you to work hard, put in alot of hours, and always go above and beyond. You are rewarded for it but this can still be difficult at times.
