Epic reviews

No personal life. working over 60 hours a week to meet the deadline. No one really appreciate your hard work. Team lead has bad time management over big projects as a team - he/she will ask you to finish a project in one week even though it should take 1 month. No time to do good design (or even think) - so endless bugs coming out of the released development and then you spend more time to fix those bugs (they call QA notes). Not too much about your programming skills but about "different workflow" in clinical world. You need to remember lots of "system settings" before actually coding. M and VB are bad languages in 21st century. You work here for 1 year and quit or work here for 10 years because your working experience only valuable inside this company. The company culture doesn't encourage employees to tell the truth - even you feel lots of pressure and too much work to do, keep it to yourself because your team lead won't care and people around won't complain about this.

At times, extremely heavy workloads and long hours (often balanced with times of less stress). High levels of travel mean that you aren't home much. Due to a generally young average age for employees, you will find a wide range of professional behavior in colleagues. Some will be highly professional but some not so much. You need to be proactive in relating the professional development you do at Epic to more general fields, there is a risk of leaving Epic with very specialized skills that are limiting in a job search. If you consciously seek out chances to develop 'general' skills, they are available at Epic.
