Pros

Great pay, great benefits. They'll pay for your move to work for them. The campus is fun and interesting as far as work environments go. The hiring process had me really excited to work for the company. People who like working for Epic love it.

Cons

Long hours are expected of you, although not "officially" demanded, although I've heard of people having complaints they didn't work long enough hours (at 40), I didn't experience this. My complaint is with the "team" I was working with, which consisted of separate people working independently non stop. I have very little time out of my office, and in my office I see nobody or even get checked on to see what I was up to. I just work and see my TL once a week for around 20 minutes. He gives me assignments and asks about progress. I'm pretty social for a developer, other people might not mind this. I also feel like being an intruder in a cult. Looking as an outsider, people are obsessed with their jobs and very driven. It feels alienating to be in a company surrounded by people who fall into either that category, or the people who want to leave.

Pros

- Excellent campus - Great cafeteria - Good salary - Good job security - It is satisfying to see the features you developed (as a Software Developer) being used by customers! (I cannot say the same about Technical Services and Project Management folks)

Cons

- Dealing with demanding customers can be very difficult - Most of the company still uses VB for front-end development (increasingly C#/ASP.Net is being used). Backend is completely done in an obscure environment called 'cache' (language is called "M"). So the Developers get less and less marketable skills. - Review system is still "Closed" (i.e you do not know what your review was - All you see is some increase in your salary at the end of the year). - Sometimes the company feels like a "cult"

Pros

Informal, comfortable workplace - no need to dress up and coworkers were generally pleasant to work with. Very nice campus.

Cons

Almost no focus on employee development - the philosophy seems to be to work people fairly hard, compensate them on the low end of the scale, and replace them with recent college graduates when they inevitably move on to something better.
