Epic reviews

They do not hire into management. You can work very long hours and no one will really care. You have to really self-advocate (i.e. say "no") in a company of 3000+ employees that's bigger than it realizes. The company's growth seems to be outpacing its ability to maintain good communication and organization between different groups. All the software works together, and it's important to know what the other guys are doing. This is not always possible. Technical team leads are often sorely lacking in people skills, and this is frustrating if like feedback when starting a new job. Mine has trouble giving me direct eye contact, he looks around the room from left to right when talking to me, which is a bit unnerving.

When you're at Epic, you will work. They're quite honest about that in the interview, so it's not as if you're blindsided. Your life will most likely revolve around work and you'll spend more waking hours thinking about your work than anything else (and yes, I am including the weekends). Also remember: Epic is located in Verona, WI. Madison is nothing like a larger city in terms of entertainment options, but if you're looking for cultural experiences, you won't be disappointed.
