Pros

- Good pay and benefits for the job, especially for hires directly out of college - Decent chance at job growth if you get lucky and work on a team that offers it - Team members will be the best and brightest you'll work with - Really get to feel the impact we're making on the world of healthcare (depends on the team you're on)

Cons

-COVID response - required national attention before we were able to continue to work from home until the end of the year. As a company involved in healthcare and tech, we really should be the model for both when it comes to safe procedures, ad upper management believes we are due to the money they've poured into making our campus ""safe to work from during an international pandemic"", but we really should be taking a page out of other companies books and working from home. - Work/life balance can be rough - Epic tries to bleed the two together and really pushes you to work (not compensated) overtime if you want to meet expectations. - Mix of start-up culture with big company bureaucracy, and the worst parts of both. Epic tries to stick to its guns and assure everyone that we have a start-up attitude, but really it means that you'll be defining or working within the guidelines of vague or non-existent, broken processes that someone on your team who doesn't work there anymore set up 6 years ago and now it doesn't work.
