Pros

- Food is great. Really food is the only positive I see in Epic. Was my first job out of college and really brought into the cult like culture that is preached during monthly staff meetings. Until I got married and had a kid, things started getting sour when I decided not to bring work to my personal life.

Cons

- Very bad WLB - Outdated tech for developers - Stressful work culture in the name of aggressive deadlines - Old software engineering practices - Bad TL's and management

Pros

The majority of my coworkers were great to work with. Epic hires smart, motivated people. Most employees are young, which was great when I was similarly youthful. The company is very successful and financially stable. Compensation is very high for the area and rapidly improves in the first 2-3 years.

Cons

The COVID response in 2020 was shameful and terrifying. Epic planned to bring back all employees to campus during September 2020 despite COVID being at an all time high and trending higher. Epic classified workers as "essential" despite the fact that many roles (SD, QA, TS) can do their jobs 100% remotely. The development process is tedious, bloated, and full of unnecessary roadblocks. The tech stack is pretty frustrating to deal with at times. Leadership has been showing its age and has unrealistic expectations of its staff. Employees are pressured to work 50+ hours a week. Work/life balance is not part of the culture at all. Being overworked is celebrated but ultimately leads to burnout. Remote work is treated with the utmost disdain. Epic makes you sign an arbitration agreement and a 2-year non-compete clause on your first day. This contract was used to block employees from collective arbitration. Check out the Supreme Court case Epic v. Lewis. Prospective hires are not warned of this contract during the application process.
