Pros

Great compensation and co-workers. Almost everyone at the company is incredibly smart. I also really enjoyed immersion trips where Epic allows their developers to see the software in use by their customers, which is eye opening.

Cons

Horrible PTO (6.5 holidays & 2 weeks of vacation), compared to similar companies. The company culture is quite toxic because they encourage an unhealthy work-life balance. I was working an average of 45 hours a week and my TL said I should try to average 50 hours even though I was finishing all of my work. Upper management has tarnished their reputation in most of their employees eyes since COVID began. Every decision they've made regarding their covid-19 response has been against the health of their employees. Once the economy settles down again, Epic will see a large amount of talent leave the company.

Pros

Impact: You are part of creating systemic level change for healthcare organizations. You get to be on site and work directly with providers and see how these changes impact their communities. People: Extremely smart and capable. I feel like I can rely on my team in a way I haven't at previous employers. New hires are entry level, so there's a strong community for people in a similar stage of life. Culture: Quirky but in a real, unique way. People are collaborative and celebrate shared accomplishments. The campus enshrines a very specific (and fun!) vibe. Location: Madison is awesome. Benefits: The health insurance is unparalleled. Sabbatical is a super cool perk too. Growth: A lot of autonomy and responsibility allows people to rise to the challenge. Stability: Solid industry, no lay-offs.

Cons

Remote work flexibility: 5 days a year
