Epic Software Developer reviews

* Poor work life balance. Learn to say no, and often. * Mediocre parental leave policy * Mediocre vacation policy. I'd much rather have a bonus + additional yearly vacation. * Mediocre 401k match * Anti-labor policies, such as Epic v. Lewis * Culture where there's no transparency and employees have no real input. * Being subject to the whims of an eccentric billionaire. Let's ban french fries. Let's rename Infection Control to Bugsy. Let's bring everyone back to campus in the middle of a pandemic so that we can all hide in our windowless broom closets and remote into every meeting. Because "culture". Great idea! I mean, even Cerner is letting their employees work from home through the end of the year. Smh

Pay is based on rankings done secretly behind closed doors where, if someone doesn’t like you, complaining and gossip abound. This creates an awful culture on many teams. You are told you’re a factory worker, this is one of our hills to stand on. Expect this to permeate every interaction with management/HR. Leadership is convinced you’re trying to steal from the company. They spy on you, create tons of restrictions around PTO/WFH, and treat you like dirt if you have any sort of health problems. Do not work here if you have a disability, you will be passive aggressively discriminated against. The amount of PTO was awful before covid, don’t let the sabbatical talk sway you. If you’re a developer being courted by other tech giants consider this: many of them offer significantly more PTO at the start then you will ever get at Epic. That will matter more in the long term then you think. Culture is all about the customer. You will hear in one staff meeting how amazing we are to customers then also told: you have to come back, culture matters to our sales, find childcare during a pandemic.
