Epic reviews

Experienced employees are not valued any more than a 1yr employee. Company policy is based on the needs of young employees (mostly business majors from privileged backgrounds) who haven't yet proven their abilities to work independently without much oversight. These policies and restrictions are tedious for senior employees, who can be very effective without jumping through the hoops that the new staff has to. Benefits are good, but for the amount of money Epic brings in, they should be much better. It is disappointing that the company doesn't provide more corporate leadership in this regard. It is completely unacceptable that Epic doesn't offer paid family leave, that it's vacation time is so limited, and that it's sick time policies are so full of red tape. There is an army of unqualified TLs. It's a complete lottery draw whether you'll get a good TL or a bad TL. And your TL directly affects how happy you will be. They decide what company policy they want to enforce and to what extent. They also determine which projects you work on, which has a direct correlation to number of hours, job happiness, and your value to your team, role, division, and company overall. Too much power is put into the hands of inexperienced managers.

- You make great pay annually, but you’ll work 45-60 hour weeks, most weeks, so the hourly wage isn’t that great. - Really bad parental leave - Only 6 days of sick time a year, regardless of tenure. You’ll need at least 6 for mental health days, (trust me) so you’ll have to cut into your 10-15 vacation days for additional sick time - Management will fire you for vocally disagreeing with their COVID-response plan. - No matter how hard you work or how long you’ve been with the company, you will always be replaceable with dozens of others. It’s impossible to feel any sense of job security.
