Epic Systems Work Experiences

Good Start, Bad Culture

Software Developer • Current Employee

January 31, 2023

Pros: Epic can be a great place to work. The campus is beautiful, the work is rewarding, and the pay and benefits are hard to beat. If you are starting as a software developer, you are almost guaranteed to have a good first year here. You will learn a lot about managing technical projects and be given autonomy over your work. Mileage may vary for customer-facing roles, but for developers, folks tend to enjoy their first year. I know I did.

Cons: Epic has a lot of surface-level pros, but once you gain more experience, you will start to see the poor work culture that exists behind the scenes: * Normalization of long work hours. * Secrecy among upper management. * Unrealistic development practices prone to issues. * Grossly mismanaged and underscoped projects. This one isn't really a con, but do note, Epic has a monolithic codebase that will be forever facing a software entropy problem.
