Pros

Mid level management is great. TL’s are smart and capable and take feedback well. I genuinely enjoy my coworkers. I like their appreciation for architecture.

Cons

Senior management is dumb as rocks and stubborn to the point of endangering us. The response to COVID has been downright criminal. From downplaying the crisis at the beginning, sending IS to infected areas of the country, and dragging their feet on work from home, to choosing to bring us back as cases only get higher and higher. Any criticism is seen as coming from “whiners” and is quickly shut down. Incredibly authoritarian culture from the top. Judy chooses to surround herself with kool-aid drinkers which I foresee will bite them in the butt one day. I work for a cult. I am scared and I genuinely feel like I’m going to be sacrificed for the free market or “culture,” whatever the heck that means anymore. Also the vague, undetailed 5 star reviews you’re seeing are them asking blindly loyal, unquestioning employees to leave reviews to inflate their rating. The only thing they’re scared of is bad press that ruins their “fun and quirky” image. I’ve watched it happen. Don’t be fooled. This is a bad company.

Pros

Campus, food, compensation, general autonomy.

Cons

Upper management is really terrible. This company is run by dinosaurs and the outright refusal to listen to workers' wants will eventually lead this company to, well, the way of the dinosaurs, if they can't figure out how to better adapt as time goes on. We need more flexibility when it comes to childcare and work from home. There is absolutely no reason 99% of the company can't be effective from off-campus. We've proven that during the pandemic. Yet, we are likely to lose even our pitiful 1-day-per-2-weeks of WFH at the end of October. If they also take away the ability to WFH due to COVID & school quarantine requirements, I'll quit. I've been at the company for > 10 years.

Pros

Salary, Autonomy (to an extent), Health insurance, sabbatical

Cons

COVID-19 responses were slow initially and the current plan to bring employees back to campus is dangerous and shows the little value leadership actually sees in their workers. Team leads have been told to "expect tough conversations" which is Epic speak for expect people to quit, but don't worry we're okay with that. No other major tech company in the state nor our direct competitors are requiring folks to come to work until at least the end of the year. Judy is showing that she is out of touch and should be removed in order to preserve this company. Before COVID I would have rated at least a 4 out of 5. Other cons: The only way to advance as a TS and have your compensation reflect it is to become a team leader or a technical coordinator. Other management and high impact internal areas (workgroups, expert areas, etc.) Are not accounted for appropriately in our rankning scheme - which directly impacts your raises There's no accountability for the hospital systems to hire competent IT analysts and no avenue to report that an analyst is not well suited tonsupport Epic. That means more worm for customer support roles if you het a bad analyst If you don't work more over 40 hours a week you are considered under performing and are given more work regardless of what your customers think about how you're doing. Vacation time is lower than it should be.
