Pros: The campus is amazingly well decorated. The internet is fast, the offices are comfortable, and the people are friendly (no need to be competitive or aggressive). Epic is migrating to using modern technologies, such as C#, ASP.NET, and JavaScript, and developing for modern platforms, such as Android and iOS. For the cost of living in the Midwest, the salary is amazing. Just look at the cars in the parking lot. Working here for 5 years will guarantee you upper-middle class in the Midwest. I worked here as an intern for a summer and loved it. In many ways, it is similar to Microsoft and Google, just smaller. Think of it as the Microsoft of the Prairie States.

Cons: If you are not interested in the products, work may be a little dull for you. You will be designing and implementing only software related to medical issues. In addition, there are a ton of meetings you will have to go to that may not interest you at all. If you are not interested in being a 'team leader' (first level manager), there is no room for career growth. You will be a software developer, and that's it. Since it is a large, successful private company, it does promote a sort of cult-like atmosphere.

Pros: I worked on a very chill team that did cool stuff. My manager was great. They expect a lot, but if you are getting it done, there are no worries.

Cons: Some other interns had mentioned a different experience. Poor management on their teams made it not very enjoyable.

Pros: Salaried, flexible work hours, a lot of independence, individual project.

Cons: If you were hoping to work on a team, you will be on a team, but most of the work you do is individual.
