Pros: - Great pay right out of college. - Health insurance is amazing. - Low-level coworkers are great people. - Products and projects have a measurable real-world impact.

Cons: Recruiting will outright lie to you during the hiring process. This is especially true for developers because they don't want to have to explain about the languages we actually use. Instead, we internally created a whole new language framework which we don't really use, just so recruiting could say that we use TypeScript across the entire stack to potential new hires. Unending critical projects get dumped on development because Sales constantly over-commits. Upper management is completely tone-deaf and unwilling to hear any criticism or feedback for company policy. The current response to any feedback/criticism is "please support". Below industry average vacation benefits. Yes, sabbatical can shift the weight on this calculation, but no one tells you that sabbaticals are not guaranteed and can be denied. I've had several friends get to the tenure for their sabbatical only to be denied. No respect or valuation of experience. Almost all employees are treated as replaceable cogs. We've lost decades of experience for easily avoidable reasons. Bonus/raise/stock options are completely black box and do not account for customer-facing work that is outside of your typical role. You are encouraged to grow and take on new opportunities but are not rewarded for doing so. The metrics by which you are judged are kept secret. Anti-worker policies and actions (Supreme Court case), secret backdoor non-compete agreements with other companies to extend your non-compete length regardless of what non-compete agreement you actually signed in your contract. Very difficult to strike a good work/life balance, especially for new grads right out of college, and Epic takes advantage of that. Shifting to a different developer position at another company is difficult due to the tech stack we work with. Getting out of healthcare is difficult, and staying in healthcare is complicated by an extremely long non-compete.

Pros: Lots of other young people at the company. Almost every other new hire you meet is fresh out of college and/or under 25 years old. The campus is pretty nice, though I personally find some of the buildings in bad taste. The food is pretty amazing, and the menus at the various food venues change daily and accommodate all kinds of diets. The benefits cannot be beat. And if you're willing to work hard, your job security is essentially assured because Epic is dying to keep people staying for more than one or two years.

Cons: Epic has a veneer of being a fun, young, and cutting-edge company with a beautiful campus, great food, and opportunity for personal growth. However, there is such a repressive culture of uniformity and kool-aid drinking that if you do not fully immerse yourself into it and accept the corporate dogma from the CEO and company, then you will immediately feel alienated. That was my experience. I came with high hopes that I would be able to dive right in and apply the skills and knowledge I had to offer. But the whole corporate structure of the company is so stifling that I lost such hopes almost immediately. The training process is so jumbled and confusing that even after two months I had no clue what my job really was. No matter what role or app you're working in, you'll have to endure weeks of training before you have training with your actual team. It really makes no sense. I think I should underscore the homogeneity and lack of independent thought present in the company. The company's operating principles are posted in every bathroom and repeatedly pounded into you. Within your first two months, you'll have a class called "Corporate Philosophy" taught by the CEO, Judy Faulkner. But this class is a farce. Judy stands before you like a prophet on a hill and rambles about how Epic is such a success because it resisted going public or taking on debt. The management just constantly talks down upon its employees and treats them like sheep.
