Epic Project Manager/Implementation Consultant reviews

Epic overworks all of the employees and expects them to work between 55-75 hours with no additional overtime compensation. They don’t care for the employees well being or additional considerations. There’s also no diversity

Limited Flexibility: Epic prioritizes it's clients and it's software well above the needs/desires of the employees. They are very inflexible with their employee policies - emphasis is on coming to the office to perform all work, regardless of your travel schedule and don't trust employees to work effectively remotely. Paid time off tops out at 15 days per year for all roles. Inconsistent Management: employees who perform well with clients are often promoted to leadership (TL) before they are ready or before they have demonstrated the ability to manage/mentor other people. This leads to an inconsistent experience for younger employees who are assigned to younger TL's. Retention: the non-compete they make you sign in order to get hired is so restrictive that it is borderline oppressive. You are unable to work for Epic's clients, competitors, or any firms that interact with the healthcare IT industry (management consulting, large IT companies, etc.) for 12 months, and have extended this to 18 months for some employees. Epic doesn't rely on it's alumni network to bring them clients and doesn't hire many experienced employees, so their is little business incentive for them to change these policies, but it really limits your career options right after Epic and is why so many people take a year off or go to MBA/Master's programs after leaving.
