Pros: Pay and raises are good. People are great.

Cons: Problems aren't always the most interesting. It can be tough to work on projects that advance your technical skills.

Pros: Good pay compared to the cost of living in Madison. Subsidized food. Beautiful campus.

Cons: The technologies used here are very outdated (Visual Basic 6, Microsoft deprecated this long ago). Mumps DB (to put it simply, it is storing data into global variables, oops! can you imagine that?). The management is very disorganized. You will be rated based on the number of hours and the number of lines of code you write. Despite the bad technologies, the codebase is completely messed up. The issues you solve will make your developer life a living hell. There are no clues about what is happening and why it is happening in the code. If you are a person who is passionate about coding and software development, please don't join this company!

Pros: If you put the kind of commitment and dedication elsewhere, you will be recognized and appreciated a lot. You will not whine about any other workplace after quitting Epic.

Cons: 1. Programming is done in extinct languages. The DB is "Cache"; come on, give me a break here. People will actually ask you if you're talking about RAM cache memory. 2. Client code is in VB6. Do you know that Microsoft stopped support for VB6 four years back? 3. The product is very buggy, and more code on it means more ways to break it. 4. There's a high turnover rate in all roles. People who are working there don't have any other option than to stay, and they are trying constantly to get out of the company. 5. If the company finds your resume online, you will be fired immediately. Sorry, you will get 15 days. 6. No matter how efficient you are, you will be evaluated in terms of the number of hours you work. 7. There will be monthly staff meetings, and you will find that there are many people who can laugh for almost the dumbest and most boring jokes the CEO cracks. 8. The CEO will teach you grammar in the monthly meetings. 9. You will not have a social life. 10. Probably the most clichéd comment about Epic: You need to work 60+ hours. 11. There is too much micromanagement. 12. Happiness is something that you will lose if you work here. 13. Your QAer will expect you to do a UI that looks like what Apple does. In reality, you are working in a language that was written in the ice age. 14. One single complaint from the customer will get you fired for sure. Remember, everything in Epic is customer-centric: the buildings, the campus, almost everything is for the customers. 15. The interview is a complete lie. They will tell you that the work hours are flexible and you will have a great work-life balance.
