Pros

Quality work experience interacting with the top healthcare professionals in America. No experience necessary. Epic trains employees on the system and their implementation methodology. Coworkers are highly motivated, task oriented, and dedicated.

Cons

The intensity and demanding environment can overshadow any appreciation or recognition for the efforts an employee puts out. Most employees are right out of college and have their own ideas about how a company should work. This can be frustrating to anyone who worked at other organizations prior to coming to Epic.

Pros

Advancement and Ownership: Coming to work at Epic straight out of college I never expected to have so much responsibility and ownership so quickly. Within a year I owned internal projects and improving processes. I was also able to advance quickly by taking that ownership and running with it to provide good outcomes. In less than two years I’ve advanced on my customer team to a higher role and taken on a team leader or TL (management) role in addition to my customer work. It was nice to know my hard work was noticed and rewarded with advancement to more challenging roles. Culture and Colleagues: The culture at Epic can’t be stressed enough. We have a fun campus that makes you look forward to coming to work and inspires creatively and team work. It’s also nice to know we’re really making a difference in patient’s lives across the country. This is reflected in the company motto of Do Good, Have Fun, Make Money (in that order). Finally, working with other fun and intelligent people makes a big difference. I’ve become friends with most of the people I work with and it’s nice to feel like everyone is contributing to a project and dead weight isn’t just shuffled back and forth around the company because we only hire the best and brightest.

Cons

Time and Life Management Skills: These are crucial and you won’t last long or be happy without them. Because you’re given so much responsibility right away you need to quickly learn to prioritize, manage tasks, meet deadlines, delegate tasks, and effectively badger people to keep the project on tasks. When you’re dealing with a project this large and important there are always lots of things going on and if you don’t have these essential skills you’re going to struggle. With travel and sometimes long hours (depending on customer’s timeline) it’s also important to learn life management skills quickly. When you’re traveling and working long hours at the hotel for a week or two it’s good to learn to let it go on the weekends and enjoy a social life so you don’t get burnt out. This can also mean working shorter hours when you’re not traveling to spend time with family/friends and get things done at home. Some people struggle with this work-life balance which causes them to burn out.

Pros

The people you work with on a daily basis are fantastic: smart, driven, hardworking and fun. The work is challenging but rewarding. No two days are alike and you are continuously learning and growing. The company culture is special and focuses on doing the right thing - no matter what. It's a laid back environment where employees are not micromanaged but are encouraged to work independently and use their good judgment. Also, Madison as a city has a lot to offer; much more than I expected when I first moved here.

Cons

You must learn how to manage yourself and operate somewhat independently. Meaning, no one is going to lay out what you need to do step by step - at least not for very long. You need to learn quickly how to be organized, prioritize your work and keep track of your tasks. There will be times when you will travel a lot and work high hours however the work is cyclical so those "ups" are not constant and you should learn how to take advantage of the "down times" as well.
