Epic reviews

The decisions that management makes aren't very transparent. This includes things such as salary and Epic's middling COVID response. The experience is *very* dependant on your direct manager. If they're bad, it can be difficult to keep going. There's lots of pressure to work late hours. Like most things, this depends a lot on your direct manager. Management seems to be terrified of employees having collective power and punishes those who try. See Lewis v Epic. This isn't rare, but it's still a con. Epic's COVID response hasn't been terrible, but it could use work. The reasons for every step we take are obfuscated, and all we're told is that Epic is using data somehow.

- Unlike its code, Epic's COVID policies end lives. Yes, Epic is requiring that all 10,000 of its employees return to campus over the next 2 months, even as cases are spiking in Dane County - Bad PTO and parental leave. PTO is 2 weeks for the first 2 years, then 3 weeks. You can buy more, but that is still quite limited. Parental leave is at 60% pay, is limited to 2 children who must be spaced at least 3 years apart, and must be re-payed if you leave the company within a year. - Repression of employees, especially during COVID: questions or concerns about COVID are banned from internal discussion forums. There is no transparency over the decision to return to campus, and employees are scared to speak up for fear or retribution.
