Intelligent coworkers but overwhelming overtime and poor management
Pros
There are so many intelligent people from all across the country who work here. I made great friends who are incredibly motivated, supportive, and driven.
Cons
TLDR: Constant overtime to get everything done due to artificially accelerated timelines due to clients’ budget restraints; rushed pipeline of poor managers due to high turnover. The constant overtime was exhausting and led to my burnout. Project timelines were tight because of budgetary restrictions on the client side, making days feel compressed due to a high volume of meetings. I had to work overtime to get tasks done on time for artificially accelerated due dates. Additionally, my manager was incredibly inexperienced when it came to managing people, and she made an already stressful situation 10x worse because of unrealistic expectations and coddling the client. Because of high turnover, Epic promotes inexperienced individuals into application managers quickly, creating a downstream effect of poorly managed application coordinators, and many of my AC friends shared similar experiences of facing large stress due to their managers being unreliable.
