Epic Project Manager/Implementation Consultant reviews

- difficult to have work/life balance and advance career at the same time - senior management is entrenched in old ways and is reactive once an employee is burned out rather than taking steps to prevent it - benefits need improvement: no paid maternity or paternity leave, 401k match is below average - little to no transparency in how raises and staffing assignments are decided - most TLs have no experience in management and little is done to give them real education/experience in this area - executive leadership often has ludicrous ideas on how to develop or create a process in-house rather than procuring software solutions or learning from how multinational corporations handle it - there is little investment in career development for employees there 2-3+ years

The day I decided to leave Epic there were two girls standing outside my office talking about how they got so trashed the night before that one of them had pissed the bed. Epic is a continuation of college in both great and terrible ways. Yes, it's fun to hang out with a bunch of young people at this exciting stage, yet a lot of people there aren't ready for the responsibilities and make it a miserable environment. I'm willing to admit that I may have been stuck with the worst of Epic. Maybe life was brighter on a different team. But hey, if you're looking to have enough money that you can just go buy a new pair of sheets after drinking too much, then Epic will be the perfect place for you.
