Epic reviews

If your TL is bad, it is a total dead end. If you don't get along with your TL, it is near impossible to change, and you will not get opportunities. The pay is OK, but new QAers recently started at 8-10,000 more than when I started. This means new QAers were earning more than me when I left, and Epic has been deliberately slow to address this issue. Essentially, they have suggested they will consider an adjustment in september, which essentially means experienced QAers would lose out on 6 months of higher wages (~4-5k in total) from the time new QAers started earning higher salaries to when Epic may or may not adjust others. This is an incredibly disingenuous policy, deliberately engineered to save epic money at the cost of their employees. Compared with IS, TS, and Developers, QA is clearly a significant step below. The other roles get payed SIGNIFICANTLY more (they start ~50% higher and their raises are often a higher percent), they often get better opportunities, and are generally the focus of many policies. QA is frequently an afterthought.

bad work life balance. too much responsibility. expect too much from you. very sink or swim mentality. not the most efficient way of doing things. some of the work could be a bit mundane.
