Pros
If you're young and just out of college, Epic is hard to beat. The median age is probably less than thirthy, as most people here are either just graduated with a bachelor's or master's degree. The campus is simply beautiful. Most employees have an office with a door, and many new employees even have their own offices. Those who are in satellite facilities and have cubicles will be moved to Verona as soon as the new campus building are completed. They also work very hard at training new staff in existing software and development techinques. The system is huge, but the initial training helps bridge a lot of that gap. If you work there five years, you get a paid, month-long sabbatical, and if you use it to travel abroad, Epic will help defray some of that cost. The sabbatical is in addition to two weeks paid vacation a year. Finally, the benefits are very nice (90% of health, dental, and disability paid), and they start you off with a 50%/6% contribution to a _ROTH_ 401k. By the way, the salary is pretty nice, too.
Cons
If you're _not_ young and just out of college, you might feel out of place among all these younger people. Finding colleagues your age might be a bit more difficult, in this case. They ask long hours of their project management staff, and while that is to be expected to some degree, they can really pile on at times (we give a lot of support to our customers, and it requires more manpower than we are sometimes equipped to give). If you're a developer, you have to work in VB6 and MUMPS; the latter especially could lead to career road blocks later, not to mention being incredibly frustrating, since MUMPS is a typeless language, does not ignore whitespace, and has little to no error handling. On a benefits note, the 401k contribution isn't fully vested for two years, which could be a little annoying. Perhaps the most annoying is that since Judy absolutely refuses to open Epic's financials to the SEC, the number of equity stakeholders is capped at 500, since having more than that would require filing statements with the SEC.
