Pros

The work is challenging and meaningful. I feel valued and well compensated.

Cons

Leadership is arrogant and refuses to even acknowledge that they might be wrong. This has been displayed most recently with their handling of COVID, because they refuse to acknowledge that we can be successful working from home in a pinch. Therefore, they are going to be requiring us to return to the office despite public health authorities encouraging businesses to allow work from home. They've been putting their efforts into silencing employees rather than trying to address our concerns in a respectful manner. "Authoritarian" is perhaps a strong word here, but there's no denying the similarities in how internal dialogue is being handled right now and how free speech is handled in authoritarian states. Management does not do a good job at load balancing work, so folks who have a history of success but aren't good at negotiating their workload will often end up with too much work.

Values $$$ over lives

Pros

Pretty campus, and good cheap cafeteria.

Cons

Corporate to its core, as in they value profits over the health and lives of their employees and their families. They are requiring their 10,000+ employees to come back to work on campus, censoring coronavirus-related questions in its internal forums and telling those without cars to take the bus (during a pandemic). Dane County has been listed by The New York Times as one of the nation's hotspots of the coronavirus. Yet they are ignoring local and federal public-health guidance to force their entire workforce to return to campus.

Pros

- Helpful and intelligent coworkers - Good compensation - Epic's code does help save lives

Cons

- Unlike its code, Epic's COVID policies end lives. Yes, Epic is requiring that all 10,000 of its employees return to campus over the next 2 months, even as cases are spiking in Dane County - Bad PTO and parental leave. PTO is 2 weeks for the first 2 years, then 3 weeks. You can buy more, but that is still quite limited. Parental leave is at 60% pay, is limited to 2 children who must be spaced at least 3 years apart, and must be re-payed if you leave the company within a year. - Repression of employees, especially during COVID: questions or concerns about COVID are banned from internal discussion forums. There is no transparency over the decision to return to campus, and employees are scared to speak up for fear or retribution.
