Pros

They pay you a lot of money right out of the gate. Benefits too. Tech support can help you get your foot in the door for other tech jobs, and they hire anybody who made it through a STEM major. But don't stay there too long or you will have a bunch of narrowly-applicable, useless skills.

Cons

The worst part about working at Epic, being a TS particularly, is that you are always "on." It doesn't matter if you are at lunch, want to take a break, are at home, or it's the weekend. People will call you and need you at all times. I felt like I was becoming psychotic because of how much I wanted to do a good job and help everyone I could. But my customers were too demanding and they always needed too much at the last minute. Splitting yourself among 3-6 customers is what makes it terrible; the cognitive overhead associated with constantly switching priorities and projects is quite overwhelming. This is why people burn out so quick. And now that Im at a new job that pays just as much and working 9 to 5, my 8am - 7pm marathons seem so stupid now. And dont forget the bi-monthly onsite trips that can take up your weekend.

Pros

I have nice co-workers, the campus is beautiful, there is a nice food court on campus where lunch is made daily and is available pretty cheap, the pay is good, you can wear whatever you like, and you get an office instead of a cubicle (this can actually be a bit frustrating when you know someone can answer your question quickly but have to email them instead because they are in a different office).

Cons

I often end up working long hours, the atmosphere - despite the casual dress code - feels like a high pressure environment, people tend to be stressed / overworked in general, and there is a LOT of process / lack of intimacy because it is such a large company.

Pros

Excellent salary out of college, good professional experience, useful training and certification, smart and motivated employees, nice cafeteria.

Cons

Lots of red tape, poor work-life balance, lots of the technologies you learn are not used outside of epic.
