Pros

Most people that work at epic are very intelligent and hardworking. You get both a lot of responsibility and a lot of freedom right from the start. No one is looking over your shoulder if you do well. And Madison is awesome. The pay is also very good.

Cons

There is no work life balance. You travel a ton (which is also a pro I'd say) but it's incredibly easy to work yourself to death because there is always something more to do. There's the mantra that if your customer fails to do their own job, you will need to do it for them. Although your preferences for customers as far as geographical location and other elements are taken into consideration it's far from a guarantee in where you will be constantly traveling to. PMs are also very disposable, especially if you don't perform up to par in your first year.

Pros

Good pay and good experience right out of college. First 3 months (if you don't get staffed early) is really fun. Would recommend starting in July or August. Great raises too if you put the work in.

Cons

Long hours, whether there are deadlines close or not. Little professional growth, and certain hoops you have to jump through to do what you want.

Pros

They say that you get paid a lot but that's mostly for folks who are able to suck up and stay at the company pushing paper (emails) all day. The average tenure here is about 1-2 years for project managers, and there's a reason for that. You could eat food on campus or go out so there's an option. Order in.... but then you have to give directions to buildings they won't know the names of. It's not like the campus has separate addresses for each building. Also, walking to the cafeteria can be pain in the butt, especially if you live on the opposite side of campus.

Cons

Your future employment prospects are terribad after Epic. No one will hire you. Then you'll have an entrepreneurial drive. Really do hope that works out... but it's been two years since Epic with not much progress and no sales? Where's the fast track to success? That's where working at Epic gets you - nowhere. Be prepared for a serious case of depression - they use you like a toy and forcibly harass you throughout your employment, and yes even after Epic they will for various reasons (e.g. non compete, negative reviews of Epic, negative publicity of any sort for that matter, etc.). You travel on the plane most of the time. This isn't too bad until you realize that you'll be coming in late night and have to show up in the office the next morning. If you have multiple customers then you'll be on the road the vast majority of the time. They take over your private life, and there is no work-life balance. They try to control every little thing you do in your life, but they don't take responsibility when things go south. They expect you to do everything yourself, to which I say no, not a chance. Draw the line. Did I mention you're basically just ensuring that software is installed correctly? It's like Best Buy's Geek Squad for hospital organizations.
