Process
It began by applying online and then receiving an email to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview was very general and basic. Make sure you can explain a few of your projects (2-3) in depth.
After the phone interview, you are asked to take an online assessment on ProctorU. The online coding experience was awful. Someone was constantly watching you code, and it made the entire process very uncomfortable. There were four questions on the online assessment and no IDE to make sure what you were writing was even correct. Additionally, the online questions were worded incorrectly, so when you try to come up with a solution, you're not sure if it should be based off the correct terminology.
After about 2 weeks, I got a rejection saying I did not fulfill their requirements.

A decent place to start your career
Software Developer • Former Employee

Pros: Epic hires a lot of people straight out of college, so in a lot of ways it felt like I was in college again in my first few months of work, especially during the training months.
It does make it easy to meet people your age and make friends. People at the company are generally very, very nice. The only times I had issues with my coworkers were dealing with my team lead (more on that in the cons).
My job here taught me a lot of basic skills about working a corporate job, especially in terms of communication, teamwork, and managing expectations. While I had a rough last few months before I ultimately left, I absolutely do not regret my time here and I am appreciative of all that I learned at Epic.
Cons: Work and quality of life are very team/team lead dependent. Certain teams have more toxic/churn-and-burn mentalities, while others are a bit more laid back. The same could be said for team leads. Whether or not your team lead likes you will almost completely dictate what your life will be like.
I got along really well with my first team lead, and he was very understanding of my learning curve. My second team lead was extremely tough on me, and we did not see eye to eye a single bit. I left the company a few months after getting switched to that second lead because it was severely impacting my mental health.
From a skills perspective, the tech stack used at Epic is not the most transferable. For most teams, you probably won't be working on something particularly innovative. There is a lot of fixing bugs and trying to maintain a massive codebase that is not well documented.

Career killer for Developers
Software Developer • Former Employee
September 7, 2011
Pros: - Good competitive pay compared to other similar companies.
- Good campus and office space.
- Recognition for good work. If you show keen interest in the work and leadership skills, you will be promoted pretty soon.
Cons: - Horrible work-life balance (Expect to work more than 70 hours a week).
- You will be spending most of your time in the office (7 days a week and more than 10-12 hours a day).
- You feel exhausted after a while, and the pressure to work on new projects always keeps piling on.
- They promise that developers would be working on C# and .NET, and that is a lie.
- 95% of the developers end up working on VB and CACHE (a database that nobody really cares about) for the rest of their life at Epic, so there is no professional growth.
- Higher management treats you like a piece of furniture and expects you to work round the clock (even on weekends and holidays).
- Higher management fires employees like crazy for no big reasons.
- New grads, beware: This is a career killer.
- Very high attrition; you will be seeing people leave every now and then.
