Pros

A pretty good entry level job while you're there. Good opportunity for salary growth. Cool, young culture.

Cons

Actively participates in locking former employees out of working in the industry through (illegal) non-competes and contracts with customers and industry consulting firms. Regardless of what your employee agreement says, you may not be able to find work in the industry after leaving because every consulting firm and customer has agreements with Epic on who they can/cannot employ. Control of even fairly minor decisions lies with a very small group of 5-10 very senior executives (including the CEO), so do not expect to ever climb beyond a mid-level supervisor.

No loyalty to employees

Pros

- Benefits/401k are nice - Food court and Casseiopeia cafeteria is good, but overrated. Was getting more expensive and crowded when I left, and I heard it is worse now - Co workers were generally pretty awesome to work with

Cons

- Pay structure is a mystery. Whoever kisses up the best usually has the best ranking, and thus, the best pay - Upper management tries to manage it as a small company, despite the fact it is not a small company anymore - Monthly staff meetings were brutal - CEO has no work-life balance (90 hour work weeks) and expects her employees to do the same - Management will drop you very fast if you make one mistake. Expect zero loyalty from coworkers, especially your TL. Do not trust your TL. - Tries to come off as the "little guy" against all those big companies, yet it is not. CEO is a lobbyist (who pushed for the whole meaningful use thing). - Industry is a bubble propped up by the government spending at the moment. It will burst eventually yet Epic doesn't seem to realize this and keeps expanding and spending money on frivolous things (like a new auditorium that is used 12 times per year).
