Pros

Decent pay right out of college if you don't a degree that could get you a job anywhere else. Flexability of work environment is nice. Working with smart ppl who are young, which makes it a great place to meet friends if you are new to madison. Expect a 15-20% raise after your first year(anything else and your TL doesn't have much faith in you). $3000 first year christmas bonus is nice.

Cons

Epic is great at 2 things: #1 making money and #2 treating their customer right. If you are an implementor on a clinical application expect to work around 60 hours a week. The managment style with their Team Leads is truly broken. Productive employees are rarely given the correct compensation, when less productive employees move up based solely on their Team Lead. An employee's team lead rarely(most likely never) sees first hand in any way how productive an employee is. Everything is learned 3rd person from a very select few, where their evaluation process is extremely clouded. Also there is almost an aura of "never say anything bad about what Epic does or else." They attempt to be very open for suggestion to always be cutting edge and improving, but the truth is they only want suggestions to go from the top down. They do not treat employees well outside of the pay, they want you to work first and everything else in your life to come a distant second. After speaking with some senior managers(Implementation Managers) who are no longer team leads, they speak very poorly of the new team leads. As most new team leads are within a year or 2 out of school they egos begin to enlarge very quickly, which leads them to no longer attempt to improve.

Pros

If you need a job right out of college, or want to parlay it into a lucrative consulting gig, then Epic is the place to start. It's not a career, though- it's a job. The pay is fantastic if you're thinking of a forty hour week, but becomes a lot less attractive once you settle into 60 hour weeks.

Cons

Judy is, to be polite, eccentric. She will happily talk about not buying a Mercedes because it would send the wrong message (her earning money off others hard work), but has no issues riding her horse down the road in front of the campus, holding up traffic, or discussing how she recently purchased a firetruck for the campus. There is also a strong dislike of any idea that doesn't originate from on high.
