Epic reviews

- Upper management, upper management, upper management. See details below in Advice to Management. - TERRIBLE Covid response and ongoing pandemic policies (details in Advice to Management). - Poor work/life balance. Very common to consistently work 50+ and 60+ hours/week. This is especially true your first year or two, but does not level out as you advance. The hours you spend working are also more intense and draining compared to equivalent time I spent working at prior jobs. If you don't mind and don't get burned out, your perseverance is rewarded handsomely years down the road. - Your happiness is largely dependent on the team and projects you're assigned to and you have almost no control over them. - High turnover and employee dissatisfaction. It's going to catch up to the company some day. - Poor non-monetary compensation. Only two weeks of PTO for your first two years and maxing out at three weeks for even executive leadership. 401(k) match vesting schedule is terrible if you stay less than five years. Additionally, Epic only provides the employer contributions in bulk at the end of the year and only matches if you work the entire proceeding calendar year. Other benefits I used like the sabbatical, low-cost lunches, reimbursed travel credit card, and local store discounts are nice but outweighed by cons.

- Epic is reckless of employee health and safety. Work from home policy is outdated, and rooted in "culture" rather than facts. - Racist upper management is allowed to directly address POC and groups associated with diversity internally with no repercussions. - Leadership who speak up against harmful and dangerous work from campus policy are demoted. Internal methods of dissent and transparent feedback are eliminated. - Pay is generally good, but not for QA, we are currently below industry standard, consistently receive the lowest raises and bonuses compared to other roles within Epic. - It is made well known that everyone, across roles, are dispensable.
