Pros

This is a great place for software developers. This was my first job out of college and I find my experience to be much better than some of my college friends have had. Epic is a very friendly work environment (not corporate feeling at all). The campus is great. The cafeteria is great. I get to work on interesting projects and I get to fully own them from beginning to end. This includes getting to talk to customers about their needs, designing the project, developing it, and then seeing it in use in the field (sometime even at my own doctor's office). I learned quickly that being a great software developer is more than just writing the code that you've been assigned to write. It's challenging work, but I prefer that over the alternative. Epic also wins most of the time over their competitors and it is fun to be on the winning team :)

Cons

You get feedback, but usually only when there is something that you didn't do well. Often minimal feedback means you are doing well. The company is growing quickly and so office space is tight (but at least it's not cubes).

Pros

Good campus Good Benefits Health care field, if you are interested. Smart people. Health insurance is good. 401k is ok. Individual offices. Subsidised food in cafeteria, though most people I know used to have their lunch in their offices as they did not have time to sit in the cafeteria.

Cons

The technology used is very old and outdated. Almost 90% of the company still works on VB and Cache. So the experience you gain here is of no use outside this company. Unless you want to stay in this company forever, this is not the right place of a Software Developer. The corporate structure is very flat and there is no room for growth. There is absolutely no transparency about what the management thinks about you. No proper feedback from TLs. I dont know what promotions are based on. I know people who have been there for 10 years and still coding and working long hours and they were never promoted. I guess they are just stuck there. I once had a discussion with one of the employees there who was a C++ developer and now he is just stuck there for years as he has forgotten C++ and now knows only VB. You cannot work for 1 year with Epic clients as per Non-compete agreement and they are only people who use VB and cache. So it will be very difficult to get a job with the skills you get from Epic. Epic related jobs, outside Epic, are mostly implementation related and reporting. Unless you are in a team that deals with these two you wont be of any value to these customers of Epic. As a SD you wont be getting much experience in these anyways. Employees are required to work like machines. There wont be any interactions among team members other than work related. Everyone just comes, works and leaves. If you are someone who need H1B sponsorship, then this place would be good for sometime. They file green card but it will be in EB3 category and you will have to wait for years in line.
