Epic reviews

COVID-19 responses were slow initially and the current plan to bring employees back to campus is dangerous and shows the little value leadership actually sees in their workers. Team leads have been told to "expect tough conversations" which is Epic speak for expect people to quit, but don't worry we're okay with that. No other major tech company in the state nor our direct competitors are requiring folks to come to work until at least the end of the year. Judy is showing that she is out of touch and should be removed in order to preserve this company. Before COVID I would have rated at least a 4 out of 5. Other cons: The only way to advance as a TS and have your compensation reflect it is to become a team leader or a technical coordinator. Other management and high impact internal areas (workgroups, expert areas, etc.) Are not accounted for appropriately in our rankning scheme - which directly impacts your raises There's no accountability for the hospital systems to hire competent IT analysts and no avenue to report that an analyst is not well suited tonsupport Epic. That means more worm for customer support roles if you het a bad analyst If you don't work more over 40 hours a week you are considered under performing and are given more work regardless of what your customers think about how you're doing. Vacation time is lower than it should be.

TL;dr: run away if you value feeling safe while working Epic makes employees sign a 12 month non-compete agreement when they start. Recently they renegotiated with several consulting groups to increase the period before hiring ex-Epics to 18 months, without mentioning this at all to employees. Amid a pandemic, their biggest concern is bringing 9800 employees back to one central campus. In order to accommodate this, they’ve been splitting those offices, that they tout as such a great perk, into two broom closets in which the door can barely swing open without hitting the chair. Imagine sitting in a cramped, windowless office for 10 hours each day, seeing the sun 20 minutes a day over the winter, all to stroke the ego of our out-of-touch 70 year old CEO. Schools in our area announced they will be 100% virtual through October, and the CEO emailed us the same day to tell us the plan to have everyone (even those at high risk to Covid) back by September is unchanged. Maybe she expects us to bring our kids with us into the office like she likes to talk about doing back in the day, all those years ago. Either way, the message is clear: we don’t care about you or your life outside of this job, and we’re willing to risk your health, physical and mental, for minimal productivity gains. As an employee of 10+ years, I’m horrified at what this company has become, and I’m looking for any opportunity to find something at a company where they can at least pretend they care about employees. Of course, the non-compete will make that more difficult. Thanks again, Epic.
