Pros: Working at Epic as a Software Development Intern was a great experience. The company culture is fantastic, and the work you accomplish feels meaningful. Everything about the company seems great: the location, campus, food, compensation, and benefits are all top-notch.

Cons: Generally speaking, I encountered none of the issues most people complain about during my internship. The only real con I can speak of is that there seemed to be too little training on the application I was working with. Everything was overly general.

Pros: Great market presence in the industry. High salaries for starters. Great campus and lunch. Madison is also a great place to live in.

Cons: Laid back. Poor management. Employee interests come last. HR wonders why people stay after 2 years. Sort of a "use and throw" philosophy.

Pros: The work is quite varied and challenging since it deals with health care. Going to visit customers and experience the health care industry from a doctor's perspective is very interesting and fun, as it involves things you would never see unless you were a health care professional. They also hire many recent college graduates, and the pay is quite high compared to comparable positions at other companies. Company-wide communication is also very good due to monthly company-wide, entire staff meetings. The new campus is also very nice because as many staff members as possible are given private offices rather than cubicles.

Cons: There are several technological decisions that were made in the past that are very detrimental now, since the decision was revisited only recently. Most of the long-term staff are not as skilled at their jobs as they should be, as are many people on the infrastructure teams. 45-hour+ weeks are expected for people. Advancement is limited due to low turnover in management positions, and managers are usually chosen within their first 2 years of tenure.
