Pros

Epic has some of the most dedicated, helpful employees you will ever meet. It's a great first job, because just about everyone at the company is new and looking to meet new friends. People will go out of their way to help you be successful.

Cons

The management is wildly inconsistent. It seems like becoming a manger has more to do with being good at your job than being a good manager. I've worked with a few different team leads, and one of them was not great. I was ready to leave when I just happened to get reassigned to a better one. It can be great, or it can be terrible - you won't know if you're manager's any good until you need help.

Pros

Corporate culture of getting-things-done is great. Training is first-rate. Lots of new things to learn.

Cons

There's 33 year old code and data models to fight with on a daily basis. Management doesn't believe in refactoring or improving code until there is a customer-observable impact. MASSIVE code duplication makes maintenance tricky.

Pros

Epic provides good benefits. The salary is competitive, we have wonderful health insurance, a good bonus for travel is awarded and you get travel rewards for personal trips, the campus is a lot of fun, you get access to on-site oil changes and dry cleaning, and the food on campus is DELICIOUS. Everyday I work with industry leaders to improve quality in healthcare, decrease costs, and impact peoples lives. No one can downplay the importance of this. It certainly is the reason "why I get out of bed". Not to mention, this is a booming industry as healthcare becomes more politically driven. My job is very flexible. You can do almost anything on a given day. I tackle new problems on a regular basis and management works hard to make sure I'm doing what interests me and what I'm good at. There are plenty of opportunities to find these things too. The Integration Engineering role is great for Computer Science students who don't want to do full time development. This is ultimately the reason I chose Epic over other CS jobs. You get an opportunity to continue to use your CS background doing development in addition working directly with customers in project management like roles.

Cons

Work life balance is hard for new employees. I struggled my first few years to balance work with having a life. After a while, you get better at managing your own time and this isn't the case anymore, but it's definitely something I struggled with in the beginning. There's a tendency for people to over commit their time. You have to be careful to take on only what you can handle. Management staff is sometimes new and unprepared for leadership. This isn't _always_ a bad thing, but it can sometimes lead to poor morale or employee dissatisfaction.
