Pros: They hire a lot of new college grads.

Cons: Epic knows very well how to exploit new college grads.

Pros: Great benefits, great food, lots of valuable experience.

Cons: If your TL is bad, it is a total dead end. If you don't get along with your TL, it is near impossible to change, and you will not get opportunities. The pay is OK, but new QAers recently started at 8-10,000 more than when I started. This means new QAers were earning more than me when I left, and Epic has been deliberately slow to address this issue. Essentially, they have suggested they will consider an adjustment in September, which essentially means experienced QAers would lose out on 6 months of higher wages (~4-5k in total) from the time new QAers started earning higher salaries to when Epic may or may not adjust others. This is an incredibly disingenuous policy, deliberately engineered to save Epic money at the cost of its employees. Compared with IS, TS, and Developers, QA is clearly a significant step below. The other roles get paid SIGNIFICANTLY more (they start ~50% higher and their raises are often a higher percent), they often get better opportunities, and are generally the focus of many policies. QA is frequently an afterthought.

Pros: Food and benefits are good.

Cons: Very cult-like. I always felt like I was at work or discussing work. You can't get away.
