Pros

Great work life balance. Good pay in a place where cost of living is decent. Work with some really smart people. You own your direction in the company but there are people to push you in the right direction. Great campus and individual offices are a plus. Also, you own your projects success starting from requirement gathering to release and after. Great work culture. The Do Good aspect of it is an added bonus.

Cons

Slow releases. You might not see the impact of your work immediately. Could take up to an year to see an actual impact. But this part is improving overall.

Challenges abound to keep things interesting. Your career path is up to you. Lots of smart people to bounce ideas off of.

Pros

Top pros: Travel, Compensation, Skills Growth Opportunities. Epic isn't the place for somebody who doesn't want to give 110%. They seek out new hires who perform well in school because a big part of this job is learning quickly. The benefit of this approach is that your coworkers are top notch. They're the ones that did all of the work in the group projects and end conversations with "What else can I do to help?" This is a very challenging job, but the folks who seem to struggle the most are the ones that don't quite fit the above description (or come into this job with different expectations). You will have a lot of travel opportunities with the job, but you have to take it upon yourself to make the most of it. Add personal travel onto your work trips to avoid only travelling to see the inside of an office building in a different city. Compensation matches Epic's expectations of job performance. You will learn so much in this job. And not just about healthcare IT... I've increased my problem solving, presentation, time management, people management, and persuasion skills during my four years here. Probably in that order. I'd be able to come up with multiple examples for each of those items during any future job interview.

Cons

Work life balance is what you make it. Epic's going to throw as much at you as they can, and it is generally your responsibility to manage and communicate your limits. You're expected to have higher limits than normal because you're surrounded by overachievers and they pay is based on you being an overachiever as well. Just pay attention to the balance between over achieving and overworked - and work with your TL to figure it out when that balance isn't being kept. Epic's not going to check in with you every day to make sure you're not staying too late. Travel. Yes, I listed it in the pros as well. The travel opportunities at Epic are great, but it's travelling to a different city to work in an office building. It's up to you to make the airplane and hotel life worth it. I'd expect travelling 75-80% of the time.
