Pros

I really appreciated the professional development Epic promoted and even required in a lot of situations. For example, if you work in billing, you have to get certified in the front end and a few other modules. This helps you understand the entire revenue cycle and is extremely useful.

Cons

Being black or Hispanic at Epic is hard. I was asked multiple times during my 1.5 year tenure "Do you work here?". Moreover, a number of people on my team thought making black jokes were appropriate. Jokingly calling me a slave, saying the N word casually, telling me how stupid the black lives matter movement is, etc. I could go on. I sucked it up for a while but eventually had to resign because of this backwards thinking. A lot of these people are from the midwest and simply are not used to being around minorities. When I was at Epic I can confidently say that less than 2% of the workforce was black or hispanic. This creates a "white bubble" where Epic workers are not really exposed to minorities.

Epic Response

An experience like this is not acceptable at Epic or anywhere. Our employees are the reason for our success, and we want everyone to feel empowered and respected. We are committed to investigating alleged incidents thoroughly and taking action. A diverse workforce makes Epic stronger—and there are active efforts underway to continue growing with this idea in mind, including recruitment at HBCUs. Epic also supports employees of different backgrounds through the establishment of employee resource groups and other opportunities to impact change from within. There’s always more that can be done, and feedback is crucial in this process. We appreciate you sharing your experiences. -AA
