Epic Software Developer reviews

I got moved around a lot with some great managers, but I still would have liked some stability. Some roles can be super rough with work/life balance and require a ton of travel. Depending on your manager, you can be expected to work pretty late. Slow development process. Many teams are still using VERY outdated languages, so skills may not transfer to later jobs. There is a lot to learn when you join, long training period where you learn medical terms, code base, language, and healthcare regulations.

If you go work here, be aware that you won't be helping your career at all. Yes, the main language in use is MUMPS, and yes, it is as horrible as you think. The technology stack is a nightmare and things like SVN and Visual Basic work against you rather than with you. Additionally, Epic uses a slew of custom-made internal tools which break on a weekly basis and bring your work to a halt. And your knowledge of these tools is completely useless after you leave. The company advertises itself as being casual but in reality people are constantly stressed about deadlines and code breaking in production scenarios. A lot of people ended up working longer and longer hours so that they don't fall behind. The constant breakage of internal tools didn't help get our work done in time.
