Epic reviews

The main campus is an impressive display of architecture and landscaping. It is filled with eclectic artwork both inside and outside. It also has rural elements like a working farm, surrounding corn fields, and a giant treehouse in the forest. The atmosphere is casual. The break rooms are always stocked with milk & juice & tea (which is great for people like me who like to eat breakfast first thing in the morning while catching up on email). The cafeteria is low-priced and the culinary team is top-notch. The job training is extensive. They'll teach you what you need to know to do your job so previous experience isn't required (even for development) but a high learning aptitude is. The company heirarchy is rather flat so it doesn't take long for people who are motivated and assertive to make a significant impact. The workforce is large and dynamic. I like to play sports and have been involved with clubs that play football, soccer, and frisbee; there are many clubs available for other hobbies, too. Working at Epic is an interesting experience. It is challenging and frustrating at times but it is never boring.

I have seen projects that I have contributed to benefit end users of our software; I think that in my own way I have had an impact on the patient care for the organizations I have worked with. That is one of the aspects of working at Epic that keeps me coming back. I find the need to build relationships with the team members from the customers challenging at times, however I think that some of the biggest leaps I have made in my personal growth have come from learning how I interact with others and communicate in order to accomplish projects. While many of my tasks are driven by outside forces, like my customer needs or healthcare initiatives, I have a significant level of autonomy for how I approach those tasks and what skills of mine I use to complete my work.
