Epic Program Manager/Implementation Consultant reviews

**** The expectations HR sets when recruiting students from college campuses in many ways is misleading. First of all, the skills you gain from being a consultant at Epic are not going to be highly transferrable to any other type of job outside of Epic Software consulting. ****Extremely high turnover rate **** Lack of diversity **** The formal mentorship and module assignments (some theorized its based loosely on majors) are random. Its really up to you to create meaningful professional relationships with more seasoned employees and new hires. My mentor was absolutely useless as she was too busy working to be of much help or make herself available. Some mentors have been working at Epic only a few more months that their mentees in extreme cases. I would caution any recent graduates considering working at Epic to really think long and hard about the careers they want to build for themselves, and the industry they see themselves ending up in. If you have a liberal arts background and you aren't completely sold on working at a midwestern software company for the next few years or being an independent software consultant. I would definitely not recommend taking this kind of job, don't be swayed by the the nice salary and benefits. It is far better to work your way up to the type of career you want to have in another industry than selling out this early in the game for a paycheck.

People who have worked hard in the past or are in control of their schedules will be fine - I feel balanced most of the time. People who have never worked or have expectations that someone else will manage their time/schedule might get frazzled.
