Epic reviews

-Lack of career development opportunities. -If you don't like programming, the work you do will be extremely boring. Regardless of position, chances are that most of your work will involve staring at either code/text or navigating the horrible Epic UI. There's a reason Epic invests so much time and money in the campus - to try to retain employees despite the fact that the actual work here is dull and uninspiring. -Epic will try to convince you that you are special and that they only hire the best of the best. If I recall correctly, they actually say that they only give offers to a fraction of a percent of applicants, a statistic that I'm highly skeptical about. Most people here are intelligent but untalented, yet Epic will make it sound as if it is on par with the likes of Google, Amazon, etc. -If you view Epic a sort of stepping stone towards something else, you'll be disappointed. Most tools used here are internal or obscure, meaning you won't gain any of the technical skills that other top companies desire. -I'm not sure if it's Epic or just the nature of the EMR industry, but there is very little innovation in the software.

Employees should be made to feel empowered. Most of the times the decisions are pushed down rather than engaging the employees and being made part of the decision making process.
