      Good backup for a college graduate seeking their first job. If you get another offer, take it.

      Pros

      After working here for 5 years, you get a one-month sabbatical that Epic helps you pay for. Nice environment/building.

      Cons

      There's no opportunity for advancement aside from becoming a team leader. It's sort of a dead-end job. Also, I have no clue how they choose who they hire. Some people they hire are under qualified and I know for a fact that better people apply. They seem to turn away very qualified people and ask for employees to refer friends all the time but usually reject them in the long run.

      Pros

      Epic does manage to hire smart people, so your co-workers aren't typically numbnuts

      Cons

      No career growth. Employee turnover is high. Epic's non-compete agreements prevent you from working for consultants, customers, competitiors if you choose to quit. They try to reinforce these non-competes through "sneaky" means (since they cannot enforce them legally) like blacklisting you from their certification programs and even childish ways like calling up customer execs to complain about how their hiring practices is hurting Epic. Basically this is a dead end career. If you choose to leave Epic, you'll be armed with a load of build/technical experience in a proprietary system that you won't be able to leverage to advance your career.

      Pros

      Exposure to technology that is ever increasingly being used in health care. As such, it's a good launching pad for a related career in consulting or at a client site.

      Cons

      Long hours (think: you can bring pets into the office with you... WHEN you're spending your free time working on the weekends) Scattered management with no real structure, career advancement is only available for a select few. Management tries to paint the picture that it's such a fun and unique place to work, but you soon realize that it's just smoke and mirrors. They constantly remind you that you're "picked because you are among the brightest in their application pool", yet due to the number of apoplicants for each open positions, you are easily replaceable.
