Pros

-Solid pay -Generally nice office spaces -Lots of young people / easy to make new friends if you're right out of college

Cons

-Epic is unique in terms of its complexity. It's built to do everything, but it's often unintuitive when you're training. (Training typically takes 4 months). The tools you're building are so complex, that it can be very boring to get through that training. -Because Epic is built to be deeply customizable for each hospital, often you'll be in charge of fixes for bugs that have really time consuming set up processes. On an almost daily basis, I will spend at least 2 hours toggling settings in order to reproduce bugs. It's usually very boring. - My mom died and I was only permitted to take 1 week off - Maternity leave isn't very long (12 weeks)

Pros

* Coworkers were nice and helpful though there are devs that don't have a computer science background, and it can sometimes show. * Campus is nice though I didn't see much of it while I worked there because of the pandemic.

Cons

* Middle management isn't great because they aren't hiring experienced people and promote people internally. * Tech stack will turn you into a dinosaur. * Location. It's not NYC or SF but this could be a positive to be honest if you think those cities are seas of trash.

Pros

- Fun campus - Good food - Improve healthcare

Cons

The tech stack is extremely antiquated and after working at Epic you will be left wondering what you have to show for it. Management is clueless and does respond to escalations and requests for more resources despite the motto of raising concerns “before all hell breaks loose”. Pay is weak compared to the rest of tech.
