Pros: Good pay for the Verona area. * The pay and great healthcare make Epic a good fit for people who enjoy a slower and stagnant lifestyle and plan on living in Verona for a long time. You're directly involved in the healthcare industry, so the work you do will most likely make a difference.

Cons: Location - The campus is in Verona, a suburb approximately 30 minutes away from Madison. - You will be living in Wisconsin, which isn't a great place to build an engineering career. For people who haven't lived in the Midwest, or come from major cities, I strongly advise against this. A dead end for young, aspiring software engineers/developers. - Most of the work you do here is useless for your future career. You may code in Mumps, VB, and other dated frameworks. None will boost your resume or prove helpful in finding that next job. - Any CS knowledge you have will be rarely used, as your work will focus more on Epic's internal software & practices. Terrible vacation policies - You will start out earning 0.84 vacation days per month (yep, it's per month) for the first 2 years. - Epic respects only 6 days worth of national holidays. Poor work/life balance - Covered in the other reviews, but you are expected to work at least 50 hours per week. Working/logging under 45 hours will most likely result in a strict talking-to from your TL. No overtime pay. Low pay as an engineer in general - Your starting salary is actually $10,000 less than you thought, because they pay you less while you are training for the first few months. - The signing bonus? It has to be repaid if you leave within the first year and partially repaid if you leave before 2 years. - The salary is significantly lower than most starting engineer salaries at large companies. Epic recruiters search in lots of college job boards & websites to find candidates. If you are a college grad, really think twice before joining.

Pros: Impactful work. Helping people all around.

Cons: Horrible management that is stuck in the past.

Pros: Great place to start your career.

Cons: Only 10 days of PTO and 7.5 holidays. No remote options.
