Pros

Epic has an innovative software package and a culture that you won't find at many companies. Management is very open with what's going on in the company and offers a wide range of fringe benefits and bonuses that are the envy of many. Travel has its perks and you get to step into a professional job without the need for "real world" experience.

Cons

Whether it is the people who try to outcompete each other or the management who promote this, Epic is a company that will consume your life and make you feel guilty/deficient for not working more. It is the norm to work both weekend days and taking vacation is difficult when you know you'll get called out for lack of progress when you get back.

Pros

Quirky, yes, but I'm convinced that upper management is savvy and knows what it's doing. The work can be challenging and interesting, and fulfilling when you see how it benefits people. It's nice being surrounded by people who are young and smart but not so ambitious as to be too obnoxious.

Cons

Employees sometimes treated like helpless children -- and people rise to the expectations you set for them. People seem to be offered middle management positions on the basis of hours spent at work and a vague sense of project management ability, and certainly not on the basis of their skill or experience managing people. The intent is to have a 'flat' management structure, but in a company of 3000+ the result is a frequently frustrating tangle of poorly supported, unempowered, sub-par middle managers. Not sure if that's any different than any other company, though. The growth of the company has really stretched some of its geek-friendly corporate culture to the limits of absurdity.
