Pros: Great pay. Great benefits. You may like the mission of the company to help people (heavily app dependent).

Cons: Wild variation by supervisor and app. Poor raises/bonus if you don’t go above and beyond. Corporate indoctrination is palpable. General lack of culture amongst coworkers, mostly privileged from UW or poached from good schools.

Pros: Healthcare covered 100%, great pay, and a good reputation.

Cons: Management makes a lot of decisions, especially lately, that are incredibly tone-deaf and borderline insulting. Some policies are put in place, and the justification is shoddy at best. It probably isn't as bad as other people make it out, but it's bad enough that I'd be concerned if someone were to start working here.

Pros: Just traveling to new places on immersion trips.

Cons: Worst experience I've ever had in my whole life regarding all sides: life balance, people you work with, work environment, atmosphere. It was just bad. You'll be losing your skills over time until you'd be unemployable because you have no market value from an "Epic" background. It's been more than 5 years. They say we'll move from VB to C#, but still, more than 70% of the company codes in VB. Imagine in 2017, I was coding in VB. The last time I coded in VB before Epic was in primary school. Company culture is very bad. I've seen people getting fired because they didn't like their team leaders' way of leading or talking. They were fired because they escalated to HR! Everyone has a private office, which makes it very difficult to ramp up fast. Everyone pretends to be busy, and it'll be so difficult to get someone to help you. Everyone has some weird ego. My team leader was acting like he's the godfather, and even my mentor, who has just one more year of experience than me, once yelled at me, "Don't talk while I'm talking!". This happens to many new hires, which is why I'm mentioning it. People never talk to each other, even outside the company. Everyone looks sad inside! No life balance at all, and still, you learn nothing.
