Pros
Industry leader that is booming in the down economy (thanks to ObamaCare) Hire lots of recent college grads Good base pay for first job out of college Only hire very intelligent people Everyone receives either a personal or 2 person shared office No dress code (this is a con for a lot of people) Great first job to make some decent money while you apply for a better job.
Cons
Project Managers are over worked: Epic does not know how to turn down a customer so there is a lot of work to be done. Recent hires are being given customers before they are trained or certified. Most PM's are not qualified or ready to be working onsite. If you get hired here as a PM get ready for Epic to chop you head off and throw you in blind. They claim that PM's only work 50-55hr max a week, this couldn't be further from the truth. Many PM's are working well above 60hr weeks. Management at Epic is very inexperienced and unprofessional. The only way you will survive as a PM and not add to the ridiculously high turn over rate is if you get a good Manager above you. If your manager doesn't like you (your manager will most likely be only a couple years older then you) your job will be much worse then the job already is! Verona WI (even Madison) suck: This is not your typically big city job, be prepared for boredom.....that is if you have time to be bored :( You are helping implement a product that for most physicians is being forced down their throats. This makes your work environment that much harder as almost everyone at Epic is met with hostility from their customers. Be prepared to drink the Epic kool aid like all companies. If you come into Epic with any knowledge of the healthcare industry and what physicians really think of Epic (also knowledge of how well Epic works in existing hospitals) it will make it a lot harder to believe the false truths they feed you about the software. List goes on....
