Pros

Starting pay is pretty good, at least for the technical roles. The non-technical roles start lower but seem to get much larger raises, but that may have something to do with a higher burnout rate. Company is very "flat" which has it's pros and cons. Management will listen to your ideas if they have merit. Want to teach a class? Go ahead. Have an idea for a new piece of software functionality? We'll listen to you.

Cons

They do not hire into management. You can work very long hours and no one will really care. You have to really self-advocate (i.e. say "no") in a company of 3000+ employees that's bigger than it realizes. The company's growth seems to be outpacing its ability to maintain good communication and organization between different groups. All the software works together, and it's important to know what the other guys are doing. This is not always possible. Technical team leads are often sorely lacking in people skills, and this is frustrating if like feedback when starting a new job. Mine has trouble giving me direct eye contact, he looks around the room from left to right when talking to me, which is a bit unnerving.

Pros

Epic has a very good support system and a company culture that encourages helping your coworkers. And if you like to travel, this is an ideal entry level job.

Cons

When you're at Epic, you will work. They're quite honest about that in the interview, so it's not as if you're blindsided. Your life will most likely revolve around work and you'll spend more waking hours thinking about your work than anything else (and yes, I am including the weekends). Also remember: Epic is located in Verona, WI. Madison is nothing like a larger city in terms of entertainment options, but if you're looking for cultural experiences, you won't be disappointed.

Pros

Epic is a great place to work for the first several years after college. You'll get a lot of responsibilities that you wouldn't in other jobs, the opportunity to travel around for work, and the compensation is better than most other opportunities you might have.

Cons

The work-life balance is something hard to acheive at Epic. They will consistently ask for time on weekends and late nights, but are stingy in giving appropriate compensation time (even though it is a written company policy). Customers learn to expect the same, and have an urgency to all of their requests,
