Good job for the salary but not much else

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very competitive salary, very nice food and drinks, comfortable office and easy parking, lots of conferences, presentations and guest lectures. Some members of my team were intelligent and helpful [others sabotaged my work to make themselves look better]

Cons

Obsolete technology is a problem when you interview afterwards. Very heavy workload. The technical assignments are not very challenging but are difficult and time consuming because (1) the software is very old and monolithic and (2) Epic uses the most complex software development cycle I have ever seen [Going through PQA is truly a good exercise, but I spent too much time chasing pedantic issues that just ended up getting dropped]

No development opportunities - bad first job, but good for career switchers

Technical coordinator

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

- Cassiopeia food is usually good. It's getting more expensive and crowded - be prepared to stand in line for fifteen minutes. - Health insurance. It costs $60/month and covers anything - Decent pay. I worked at a bank before the department was shuttered, and I was paid more there. But this job is less volatile and is pretty close in base.

Cons

- Each time I travel, I fly out Sunday morning and fly back Wednesday late at night. Count it up - one day weekend many weeks. - No professional development. Programmers - good luck finding anything asking for Cache. IS - you don't learn much Project Management from a bunch of other kids eight months out of college. TS - I hope you enjoy sifting through poorly maintained Wikis all day. - You live in Madison and commute roughly 90 minutes a day, or you live in Verona/Middleton and have no social life. There isn't a right answer here. - One of the best things about the bank was the ability to advance. Once you get thrown into a box at Epic, you stay there until you leave or beg your TL to try out another box. What people find, once they get what they want, is that the four people with titles would rather churn and burn the livestock than keep any box livable. Developers here tend to be low to midgrade, but they definitely have the best employment if they stick around.

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice sized teams. Beautiful campus. Great pay. The travel is really nice. You travel a whole lot, but getting out of the office for a few days every couple months is something I really enjoyed.

Cons

Not a very good work/life balance. Very stressful near deadlines. I'd recommend working here, but probably not for more than a few years.
