Pros

- Smart and driven co-workers - Potential to have impactful work

Cons

- Opaque decision making from upper management - Data driven only when data supports management’s wishes - Willfully ignore employee feedback and actively quash dissenting opinions and discussions (critical feedback about COVID-19 plan was deleted numerous times) - Passive aggressive behavior from management when employees don’t fall in line - “Flat” management structure that is not even close to flat - Uncompetitive PTO for the tech sector (only 2 weeks) - Bad work-life balance (having more work that you can handle is standard)

Pros

Great Salary. Pretty campus, if somewhat vapid in benefits, meaningful work, hires great people who want to make a difference and are willing to work hard.

Cons

Upper management is very opaque in its decision-making process and is unwilling to take the welfare of their employees seriously. The current Covid-19 response (attempting to skirt every health regulation and get people back in office as fast as public relations will allow them to) is emblematic of the issue. They want to churn and burn their employees and do not care about your well-being to dangerous extents. This is without even getting to our out-date stack and dev process.

Pros

SD salary is great, especially for the area. If your direct manager is good, you have a good amount of freedom. Not everything you do directly impacts care, but plenty of projects are beneficial for both providers and patients.

Cons

The decisions that management makes aren't very transparent. This includes things such as salary and Epic's middling COVID response. The experience is *very* dependant on your direct manager. If they're bad, it can be difficult to keep going. There's lots of pressure to work late hours. Like most things, this depends a lot on your direct manager. Management seems to be terrified of employees having collective power and punishes those who try. See Lewis v Epic. This isn't rare, but it's still a con. Epic's COVID response hasn't been terrible, but it could use work. The reasons for every step we take are obfuscated, and all we're told is that Epic is using data somehow.
