Pros: Variety, flexibility in work. No micromanagement. Worthwhile projects. Generally limited red tape. Great, competent co-workers. Some travel options. Great campus. Offices, not cubes. Underground parking. Amazing support staff.

Cons: * High workload. * Vacation caps out at 3 weeks, and the family leave policy is a joke. * Upper-level management has started making condescending, Big Brother-type decisions about employee health/wellness. * QA makes significantly less than other roles.

Pros: Smart coworkers. Beautiful campus. If you're autodidactic, you can learn a lot fast.

Cons: Leadership is out of touch. Leadership does not respect employees. Leadership openly flaunted COVID precautions mandated by health authorities. It took incessant public shaming for them to (sort of) change course. Unhealthy work-life balance. Corporate culture encourages burnout. As a result, many employees, however nice, are high-strung and difficult to work with. Often, it feels like advancement is based more on how much you drink the Kool-Aid than on merit. It's also heavily influenced by a personality test all employees take at hire (Rembrandt Advantage). Such tests are rarely more than horoscopes for people who don't believe in horoscopes, regardless of what the test makers claim. A very vocal minority of employees imagines Epic can do no wrong, and anyone who sees issue with its corporate culture is wrong at best and a traitor at worst. Those people also tend to be very average employees. The combination of their demeanor and abilities can make work quite unpleasant if you have one of them as a coworker. Managers are, for the most part, powerless and kept in the dark for important personnel decisions.

Pros: As a position straight out of college, Epic is awesome. I've met some great, life-long friends through my time at Epic and have gained great work experience. With this, the pay is good, and you will get exposure to a lot of the health industry.

Cons: Your growth within the company is pretty limited. If you start as one role, odds are you're going to be leaving the company in that same role. They also work you pretty hard, and expectations continue to grow the longer you work there.
