Not Enough Vacation

Recommend

Pros

Beautiful workplace--going around the campus can be a good break Flat management--your idea is heard Meaningful work--customer focused Trips to customers sites--you get to see the end users use the software and get feedback directly Location--it is unlikely that you are stuck on traffic on the way to work Healthcare benefits Single or double office

Cons

Vacation and sick days--you don't get that many, which is not ideal if your family is outside Wisconsin (work from home is not allowed) Old technology Secrecy in raise and ranking Also, this might be a pro for some people. But to be successful at Epic, you need to be passionate about healthcare. If you are more passionate on technology, Epic might not be the best place for you. For example, if there's a critical bug, a quick fix is more preferable. They are more reluctant to clean up and modernize old codes because they don't want to break the software and cause harm for patients--which is good. But for someone who is more passionate on technology innovation, Epic was not a good fit for me.

Cons

There's still a lot of legacy code Still on VB. They're supposed to be off of it by 2022 Can have a terrible work/life balance if you get a bad TL You can only carry over 8 days of vacation per year The work is a little boring

Pros

The food is seriously one of the best out there.

Cons

The tech being used is primitive, does not really add to the resume.
