Pros: Pay On-site dining halls Free coffee, tea, juice, milk, popcorn

Cons: Workload and expectations are very dependent on the TL (team lead) and application.

Pros: Some great benefits: * Cheap healthcare * Great location * You're making a difference * Beautiful campus * Delicious and cheap food * Solid pay (especially for the area) You get constant feedback from your boss on how to improve/what you're doing well, and people are very helpful.

Cons: I got moved around a lot with some great managers, but I still would have liked some stability. Some roles can be super rough with work/life balance and require a ton of travel. Depending on your manager, you can be expected to work pretty late. Slow development process. Many teams are still using VERY outdated languages, so skills may not transfer to later jobs. There is a lot to learn when you join: a long training period where you learn medical terms, code base, language, and healthcare regulations.

Pros: Base Salary - (although see below, total compensation is lower than at other places) Some really thoughtful coworkers. Good culinary.

Cons: Not great benefits beyond base salary. You have to pay for your stock. It feels very ponzi-scheme-esque. Antiquated development platforms. At Epic, homegrown first tends to be the norm, which is a huge detriment. That means a lot of time is wasted filling in bugs on internal software or working around limitations as opposed to standing on the shoulders of existing platforms. You don't get great experience that you can reuse elsewhere. Brain drain. All the good people are leaving. That means that the other comments you read about great coworkers, they will probably not still be here by the time you start. No WFH. You may think, "I don't really want WFH, I want to meet people," but think about it this way: Are you going to feel that way long term? Are you going to feel that way every day? Like when you're sick and still going in? Also, think about the kind of company that is so inflexible they won't allow WFH during a pandemic. That lack of flexibility doesn't just stay here. Because you're overworked (50 hours+), it is very difficult to leave and apply for other places. Diversity is not taken seriously. Similar to how WFH doesn't exist here, neither does appreciation for diversity. Again, do you want to work at a place, in the wake of George Floyd and other murders, that says DEI doesn't have a spot in the workplace? Do you want to work with coworkers who feel the same way?
