Pros
Epic offers developers a high salary for the area. Your coworkers at epic are smart and are genuinely easy to work with. The campus is pleasant with individual/shared offices instead of an open office.
Cons
As a developer, epic wouldn't be a first tier place to work. Traditional software companies offer more interesting problems and come with the additional perk of valuing their employees. Here are some examples of benefits where epic lags behind: - only 2 weeks paid maternity leave - 10 paid days off for the first 2 years, moving to 15 paid days off afterward (most companies offer 4 weeks) - Poor vesting schedule One of the main problems currently at epic is its disappointing covid-19 response. Management insists on bringing employees back while cases in Wisconsin are still high. Many employees do not feel comfortable returning to campus. It's difficult to understand why an employer would choose to make their employees return to campus and jeopardize employees peace of mind and potentially their physical health, when remote work is possible.
