Pros

The campus is beautiful, the pay is great especially for right out of college, the food on site is cheap and very good, Madison is a fun town to live in, and the people in general are great to be around (as long as they do not have any power over you)

Cons

Everything else. Long hours (45 avg with 50+ being common) Extensive time spent on training that is not very helpful. Often expected to be an authority figure for your hospitals on subjects that you are definitely not qualified to speak on. Regularly expected to pick up new projects even when you have too much on your plate. Barely any vacation time, sick days, and work from home days. You don't get all the federal holidays off (you do not get the black holidays like MLK day and Juneteenth off) Expected to log every aspect of your day down to each 15 minute interval. No career progression, I knew people who had worked at Epic for 20+ years who were still doing the same job as me. Very high turnover, expect that most of your new hire group will be gone before two years. 3.5 WFH days a year (why even have that at that point)

Pros

They'll hire any coder with a pulse who will drink the kool-aid. Pay is okay. Good first experience out of college. Madison is wonderful. On campus lunch is great.

Cons

I saw that quote on a longtime Epic developer's internal profile. Sums up the product. Outdated tech stack. Company values stability over good software. Epic is truly a mess of a software. A monstrosity built off the original 1970s code. They didn't get UI/UX designers until recently, and boy do they have the roughest job. Don't work here if you want to do good work and be proud of your software. They happily use outdated bloated XML garbage cause " Culture is toxic, management not good. They equate working overtime with "saving lives". CEO will go on stage to all 12k employees and talk about their estranged children. Very bizarre. C-suite will bad-mouth DEI. Commuting in such a small city is annoying.

Pros

Flexible hours No previous experience needed Great co-workers

Cons

Raises don't even people out as much as they say Role is under-appreciated by the company Only 5 possible days to WFH Total burn out during peak training seasons, but doesn't seem to be enough justification for hiring more trainers
