Pros: The salary is great. There are a lot of interesting projects to work on, and you're given a lot of responsibility right away. The people you work with are great, and that's what I liked most about working at Epic.

Cons: Some benefits, like parental leave, are mediocre for a tech company. Work-life balance can be difficult to maintain, and you need to learn to say "no" a lot. Upper management is out of touch, and Epic's handling of Covid for its employees is embarrassing.

Pros: - Great pay - Fantastic health insurance - Incredible culinary team - Feels very stable - Individual offices

Cons: Individual offices can make you feel very isolated and make it hard to bond with your team, most especially during COVID times. The company as a whole is very stuck in the past, both in terms of culture and software. The codebase is enormous and very messy; lots of bad code patched with more bad code piled on top. Internal documentation is scarce and rarely updated. The training is incredibly extensive (2-3 months to complete), but you don't learn almost anything that you'll use in your day-to-day work. The company has a severe case of "Not-invented-here syndrome." For instance, rather than just using React for their newer stuff, they tried to create their own version of React, which just ended up being much clunkier and less useful. Finally, in the last year, they've relented and decided to just use React after all.

Pros: Good salary for new grad

Cons: Awful hours Worst tech stack
