Epic Project Manager/Implementation Consultant reviews

Epic doesn't adequately train you for the job. I had to do my training while I was already staffed to a customer, which is a rough situation to be in. But, some others that started the same time as me didn't get staffed until seven months in and also struggle. Epic needs to put a stronger focus on growing their employees as people and as career staff. Instead it feels like the mentality is to throw you in the water and says sink or swim, when training only teaches you how to tread. This is a common perception and the smart workers that Epic recruits realize this. That's why the turnover is so high and leaving the company is always on people's minds.

Management does not care about your work/life balance in the least bit. If your customer project requires it, you will be pressured into working 80-90 hour weeks. Management just wants the customer projects to be successful. If you burn out after working 80-90 hour weeks, they'll hire another college grad to replace you rather than lighten up on your work load. Many leave after only 12 to 24 months.
