Pros: Made software that will help doctors do their job better. Learned mobile development. Epic has a really cool campus, and the food is awesome. I had my own office – with a door and a huge whiteboard. I was largely responsible for myself; I got my work done, and people didn't question how I spent my time, which offered lots of freedom. Beautiful campus. Epic is doing something really great for healthcare. My boss and his boss (also my boss) were and are great.

Cons: Epic 360 (they had us sit in on a lot of new hire classes). Some of them were awesome, like the tech talks. But there was this week of Epic 360. It was like half-day classes where they taught us about how people use their healthcare software. It wasn't detailed enough to be all that useful, but it was detailed to the point of taking a week's worth of classes. Most interns agree it was a huge waste. I admit, I ended up sleeping through a lot of it. The work can get overwhelming. It's pretty much: get as much done as you can get done. Which, when you're an overachiever, can be really taxing. You feel like you're never working hard enough, but you're actually working harder than you're used to.

Pros: I have been here for less than 2 months. From what I hear, they cover more than 50% of the US population and are moving internationally fast. I might be jumping the gun, but here's my first impression. * You are surrounded by extremely smart people. I feel I am amongst the best crowd yet. * The company takes great care of employees and attends to their needs. * You actually do software development, not just blind programming. You get yourself involved in most aspects of software development, including design, review, QA meetings, client interactions, and client visits, etc., very early. * Great campus and food, and individual office space (maybe shared with another, but spacious enough). Cool office spaces with a well-stocked break room. I have a large table and chair and a beautiful office room for my creativity. * One of the coolest campuses you will ever see. * Moving outside the US and gaining some big clients internationally. * A well-planned training program (though necessary, I feel it's slightly intensive. But I am paid well, so I can't complain). * I feel the software actually helps people and affects them directly in a better way. So you end up doing something good for society. * I feel the developers are passionate about their job; otherwise, the software can't be doing this well. * Supports many noble social activities.

Cons: Not without any cons: * Uses VB, but they are migrating into .Net. Actually, almost half of my batch are not trained in VB, but in .Net, Apps, etc. * Training is intensive, I must say. * The s/w is primarily in VB, although transition to Web in .net is happening fast. * Expected to learn fast in training.

Pros: Good benefits, lots of young and cool people.

Cons: No remote work, little PTO.
