Epic reviews

Very limited growth opportunities; Epic prides itself on a flat/flexible corporate structure, which sounds nice in practice, but really leads to very few people actually advancing beyond the day-to-day work they were doing when they first started. Also, PTO is average at best, and work from home policy (or lack thereof) is archaic. Culture is very feedback-driven, but very few changes actually come from the feedback

- Unrealistic tenure to reap rewards that people talk about (sabbatical, for example). Very few people actually make it 5 years. - Turnover rate is so incredibly high for all roles. As an example, 90% of my IP team (QA and R&D) left the company over the last six months, leaving people scrambling to take over projects that no one has any idea about. - People are continuously asked (daily, weekly) to work harder, take on more work, and take on things they have no experience in so the company can continue to move forward. - If you have a family, you either will never see them or they will leave you because, as a good human being, you want to do the right thing and work hard for a company that supposedly makes a difference. - Having to act like you are an implementation specialist (or an "expert" on your application) on required Go-Lives even though you can't answer any clinicians' questions because you aren't in implementation. - As mentioned in practically every review, the work/life balance is pretty horrendous. If you continuously say "no' (in order to not feel forced to work 50-60 hours a week), those young millennials who don't mind working 50-60 hours a week will make you look like you just don't care about doing the right thing. - The slide, the art, the themed-buildings are similar to working at an amusement park, versus paying to enjoy an amusement park. Those that work here are too busy to care about or enjoy the cute little themes and art. The novelty wears off quickly! - The average tenure is about 2.8 years (outside of SD and administration). Caution!
