Pros

Free Juice and milk. Health care industry may have a bright future.

Cons

No personal life. working over 60 hours a week to meet the deadline. No one really appreciate your hard work. Team lead has bad time management over big projects as a team - he/she will ask you to finish a project in one week even though it should take 1 month. No time to do good design (or even think) - so endless bugs coming out of the released development and then you spend more time to fix those bugs (they call QA notes). Not too much about your programming skills but about "different workflow" in clinical world. You need to remember lots of "system settings" before actually coding. M and VB are bad languages in 21st century. You work here for 1 year and quit or work here for 10 years because your working experience only valuable inside this company. The company culture doesn't encourage employees to tell the truth - even you feel lots of pressure and too much work to do, keep it to yourself because your team lead won't care and people around won't complain about this.

Pros

Great benefits: high pay, good medical/401k, plus unique perks/conveniences Overall highly motivated and talented coworkers, team atmosphere Mission driven - a job you can potentially feel good about Excellent job security for those able to manage the workloads

Cons

At times, extremely heavy workloads and long hours (often balanced with times of less stress). High levels of travel mean that you aren't home much. Due to a generally young average age for employees, you will find a wide range of professional behavior in colleagues. Some will be highly professional but some not so much. You need to be proactive in relating the professional development you do at Epic to more general fields, there is a risk of leaving Epic with very specialized skills that are limiting in a job search. If you consciously seek out chances to develop 'general' skills, they are available at Epic.

Pros

The money at Epic is good, which scales pretty well with how long you are there for. Fairly intelligent people work there, the company culture is unlike many that you can find elsewhere. Free juice, great lunch food (subsidized but recently has been getting more expensive). Very fast growing company.

Cons

Extremely high turnover. Socially awkward would describe a HUGE portion of the company. There is a strange mix between young and old, don't be surprised if it is hard to respect your managers. Do not let the culture fool you, they want to work you to the bone if possible.
