Pros: - Culinary is great. - Pay is getting more competitive with other bigger tech. - Mentors can be super helpful. - There's a decent amount of training to get you up to speed if you need it, and you're paid well while doing it. - Really good long-term benefits. - You can see genuine feedback and outcomes for customers.

Cons: - a bit "culty" - Work from home is more flexible, but it could still be improved. - There's only one campus in WI, and frankly, not many people from around the country dream of living in WI for the rest of their lives. - There's a limited number of programming languages across teams and apps. - If you aren't super passionate about healthcare, a lot of the internal propaganda gets old fast. (There is definitely a lot of variability based on team and app.)

Pros: They'll hire any coder with a pulse who will drink the Kool-Aid. Pay is okay. Good first experience out of college. Madison is wonderful. On-campus lunch is great.

Cons: I saw that quote on a longtime Epic developer's internal profile. It sums up the product. Outdated tech stack. The company values stability over good software. Epic is truly a mess of a software, a monstrosity built off the original 1970s code. They didn't get UI/UX designers until recently, and boy, do they have the roughest job. Don't work here if you want to do good work and be proud of your software. They happily use outdated, bloated XML garbage because "culture is toxic, management not good." They equate working overtime with "saving lives." The CEO will go on stage to all 12,000 employees and talk about their estranged children. Very bizarre. The C-suite will bad-mouth DEI. Commuting in such a small city is annoying.

Pros: + Pay + Cost of living + Insurance + Campus

Cons: - WFH policy - Employee feedback ignored - DEI efforts being pushed back in - Workloads are getting heavier - Many are leaving
