Great pay and work experience if you work well under stress
Pros
- Free training (although the training does not prepare you for the ins and outs of the actual job) - A chance to have a lot of responsibilities as a recent grad - Somewhat flexible schedule - The knowledge you need to do well is available if you're willing to spend a lot of your free time and sacrifice a work life balance to become great at your job. - Staff meetings are pretty cool. (Free popcorn!) - Great pay - There are career advancement opportunities outside of Epic if you want to get into consulting
Cons
- There is no real management structure and your experience will vary greatly based on your manager, who likely has no previous management experience - You are expected to gain technical knowledge quickly no matter what your background - 50-65 hour weeks - Constant pressure to take on more tasks and the peppy corporate culture will make you feel abnormal for feeling overworked. - Living in Madison can be a huge change depending on where you are from, so make sure that you will enjoy living here.
