Pros
Most people who work at Epic are competent and pleasant to work with. The food is good and cheap. Compensation is high for Wisconsin. "Fun" tech company perks - juice, gelato, zany offices.
Cons
"Real" perks are lacking - vacation, 401k matching, parental leave policies are poor. Outdated tech stack and clunky in-house internal tools for everything. The work culture is workaholic to a toxic degree. Co-workers regularly send emails at odd hours and on the weekends. At meetings, people receive praise for working while on vacation or through the night at customer sites. Many, many tedious processes for everything. 18 month noncompete. Epic vs. Lewis. Upper management's response to COVID has been horrible. Work from home was only permitted when mandated by the state, and they're now eager to drag everyone back kicking and screaming as cases and deaths continue to rise. Refusing to return to the office, for your health or out of concerns about spreading COVID in the community, is grounds for termination. They push a cultish "won't it be great when we're all back together soon?" shtick. It's beyond ridiculous and incredibly irresponsible for a healthcare software company to actively reject public health measures to preserve "culture", and to force employees to be unsafe and uncomfortable - for no reason, since IT jobs are easily done remotely - or lose their jobs. I expect things to begin to slowly fall apart for the company as many tenured, skilled employees leave for other jobs and take specialized knowledge with them.
