Pros

Epic has a great campus with amenities that are carefully selected to keep employees appeased and on campus, but not actually cost too much. I really appreciated that all of my coworkers were smart and driven.

Cons

Epic sees employees as interchangeable and untrustworthy. The culture is to work you to death. I think they intentionally hire very young folks who won't know to advocate for themselves. Any creative projects I wanted to work on had to be beyond my required 45 hours each week, and I had to find others willing to collaborate beyond their required 45 hours each week. That's not a great situation to drive innovation. They were also completely unwilling to negotiate on salary when I was hired.
