      Delusional / Negligent Culture: Burnout, DEI and Covid don't matter here

      Project manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you want to devote your career to Epic and live in Madison, you're in the right place. There's a clear path for climbing the Epic ladder, but at what cost?

      Cons

      ~~~Epic does not care about DEI~~~ "(Your workplace)... isn't the platform to fight for your social causes, not the platform to fight for your – any cause, really." - Epic President. (Source HIMSS) ~~~Delusional / Negligent Culture~~~ Egotistical Self-Perception: Epic seems to think that they are 'big tech' and that they are just as competent as their 'new main competitors': Apple, Google, Microsoft. Please. EMR market share has their egos boosted. Epic isn't even close to Top 100 or even 200 in market cap for the tech industry. HARD Madison Propoganda: If you come to Epic, you WILL experience propaganda regarding how great Madison is. If you're looking forward to being in Madison, great. If you have any hesitation, you will have to buy into their propaganda. Extremely low flexibility for location. Extreme burnout: Epic loves to throw excessive hours to their PMs. Imagine having to work 4am-4pm for 4 days during a weekend without extra compensation (not an isolated incident). Not to mention burnout is a common issue. Don't believe me? Reach out to a PM on LinkedIn. Ask about burnout, ask about the PM turnover rate, ask about how they really feel. Covid is a joke to them. Imagine being a healthcare company that is ignorant about Covid. How ironic! Epic tried to bring back employees into the office in Fall 2020 before any vaccines were nearly close to complete. The company-mandated in-person work had no adjustments for delta nor omicron. I had a manager require me to attend a room with several thousand people in it during these waves. How thoughtful and considerate.

      Great coworkers, but upper management is out of touch

      Pros

      My coworkers are amazing. They are the ones who help in a crunch, the ones who scramble to keep up with changes when upper management inevitably drops a bomb on us. Each and every person I work with is competent, hard-working, and dependable. That is, in my opinion, what sets Epic apart.

      Cons

      Upper management is wildly out of touch. The company's COVID response was abysmal. Most every coworker I talked to was unhappy with the requirement to return to work after competently working from home for a year, yet upper management continued to gaslight employees by implying they heard nothing but excitement from their employees about returning to work. When employees attempted to have their voices heard, this input was swiftly silenced by taking away many public avenues for employees to discuss concerns, and instead employees were directed to an email address to send our concerns into the abyss. The outright refusal of upper management to take their employees' concerns to heart and enact actual change in policies is mind boggling to me. Really makes you feel like a dispensable cog in the machine.

      Great pay but management makes it not worth it

      Pros

      Great compensation and co-workers. Almost everyone at the company is incredibly smart. I also really enjoyed immersion trips where Epic allows their developers to see the software in use by their customers, which is eye opening.

      Cons

      Horrible PTO (6.5 holidays & 2 weeks of vacation), compared to similar companies. The company culture is quite toxic because they encourage an unhealthy work-life balance. I was working an average of 45 hours a week and my TL said I should try to average 50 hours even though I was finishing all of my work. Upper management has tarnished their reputation in most of their employees eyes since COVID began. Every decision they've made regarding their covid-19 response has been against the health of their employees. Once the economy settles down again, Epic will see a large amount of talent leave the company.
