Pros

Epic starts you off at a competitive salary. Private offices are a plus and coworkers are competent. Although people like hate it, Mumps is an interesting programming language, albeit one you can never brag about on your resumes.

Cons

There is no real direction up here. You'll slowly get assigned more and more things until you either quit or say no, which depending on your boss may be turned around on you at your next performance review. You have no negotiating power (and your boss and their boss also do not), so if you feel your yearly bonus or annual raise isn't fair, again the door is there. Mileage may vary depending on the department but at least in mine developers are all working 50-70 hours a week to make up for management's promises and the overall understaffing.

Pros

Relatively low entry bar as far as software developer experience. Was a fun place to work. Uses web based software development technologies.

Cons

Their COVID response was bad. They at first tried to deny it was an issue and instructed TLs to lie to us about it. They allowed us to work from home for a bit then tried to force us back into the office. They required us to give them medical information to continue to let us work from home, before the county health department told them not to. They were trying to redefine working remotely as working in the office with remote technologies. Following all this, they started restricting certain employee areas that used to have some amount of self expression. Purging the details for ex-employees. All of this likely as part of an antiunionization push, which also resulted in the combining of teams.
