Pros
You will meet a few incredibly talented and wonderful people on your team or elsewhere. The food is pretty good.
Cons
Covid response has been pretty bad. You can read all the other reviews on how bad it has been, but I want to call out a different aspect which might become more important as everyone is forced back onto campus. If you get sick with Covid-19, Epic will do the bare minimum about it. The bare minimum is following through with contact tracing and that's it. Extra sick time? Nope. Ok, well at least less pressure from job responsibilities as you recover? Nope, get back to work; use your weekends to catch up! At least have some transparency about the number of employees catching the disease? Nope. There was only ever one communication about a single person catching Covid-19 back in March. I caught it later than that and I'm pretty sure others have too. But Epic hasn't been releasing such information since they want to force everyone back on campus. This is the end result which everyone gets to look forward to once September rolls around. I hope you're all prepared. Covid-19 is not fun. I would not recommend anyone else catch it. The symptoms change so quickly that you will always have the fear that you will end up in the hospital. I couldn't think about what to do if I had a family. And guess what? I still felt so guilty about the work I was missing out on that I still attended virtual meetings while I was sick. People could hear me coughing. That's the psychological hold that this company has on you. This pandemic period has been miserable for everyone, but Epic doesn't care. You're a covid cog, whether you've caught it, or are about to catch it.
