Pros

I have nothing but great things to say about Epic. They have been great to me and my family. I couldn't ask for a better employer. I've heard of others being overworked or mistreated. I can't say I've ever seen that personally. They always been fair in what they expected from me. As for the other reviews, many of them aren't fair in my opinion. If you'll notice the average rating dropped a ton when Epic asked employees to come back around Aug of 2020 while covid was still happening. Many claimed Epic wasn't listening. If you look back at history it turns out they did change their mind. They've also change their mind on a couple other choices. I don't think Epic is perfect. No company is, but many were too quick to throw Epic under the bus in my opinion. It is a good company with good principles. I'm looking forward to working here for many more years.

Cons

I do wish I could work remote after covid, maybe they will change their mind. That said I understand why that hasn't been allowed in that past and I support it.

Pros

- Great pay - Fantastic health insurance - Incredible culinary team - Feels very stable - Individual offices

Cons

- Also individual offices, as they can make you feel very isolated and make it hard to bond with your team, most especially during covid times - The company as a whole is very stuck in the past, both in terms of culture and software. - The codebase is enormous and very messy; lots of bad code patched with more bad code piled on top. - Internal documentation is scarce and rarely updated - The training is incredibly extensive (2-3 months to complete) but you don't learn almost anything that you'll use in your day-to-day work - The company has a severe case of "Not-invented-here syndrome". For instance, rather than just using React for their newer stuff, they tried to create their own version of React - which just ended up being much clunkier and less useful. Finally, in the last year they've relented and decided to just use React afterall.
