Pros

Epic is freshman chemistry 101 for the working world. Anyone can apply but its a weeder company; if you don't belong or you just aren't smart enough you'll fail.

Cons

Don't expect to climb any ladders unless you are a developer. Your department head's boss is a developer; regardless of your role.

Pros

Epic has made an effort to hire some of the best and brightest young minds out there. Your coworkers will be absolutely amazing. The on-site culinary team is absolutely top-notch. Your work has a noticeable impact on your own life, and those of your friends, family, and community. The benefits package, especially the insurance, is amazing in almost every respect. You have real ownership of your work right from the get-go - the sky's the limit, and you're in charge.

Cons

You have real ownership of your work right from the get-go - if you let things go south, it's all coming down on you. New employees earn only 10 days of vacation per year. You also earn 6 days of sick leave, but even the 16 days of PTO/year total is pretty low compared to what's out there. Team leaders tend to put in 50-60 hours a week because they're that passionate. If you don't make it clear that you're not up for that, they'll expect the same of you.

Pros

Epic is truly a one of a kind company that has offered me wonderful opportunities. If you are motivated, dedicated and self-directed, you will have great success. The projects on the interface team are varied and numerous so it leaves for being busy continuously while never getting stale since things are moving so quick. I have been hear for a long time, and I never get stuck in a rut since there are always new challenges to meet. I get great satisfaction from taking ownership on projects that affect our entire division plus the customers I work with. It has been very rewarding to work with numerous large, prestigious healthcare organizations. You get a firsthand view into how they are making a noticeable difference in patient care, and you are an active part in that process. Also, the Sabbatical program is just about the best perk I've ever heard of from an employer. When I tell non-Epic people about this, they are just in shock. It is truly a great perk for the folks that are great fits for the company.

Cons

Work/life balance is a constant stuggle that you have to actively work on maintaining. Outages of any kind are sometimes more trouble than they are worth due to not having natural true backups that can take everything you are working on. The work just waits for you to get back to the office. Hiring for EDI is a constant struggle based on the hiring standards we employ so we are always behind on new talent to help lessen the burden on the rest.
