Epic Systems

Having been at Epic for more than 8 years, here is a concise list of the things I love:

1. Impact - I get to work with healthcare professionals across the USA and abroad on solving some of the toughest challenges in the industry. The projects I work on are usually the biggest financial and personnel-based investments in their history.

2. Autonomy - I have control to get things done when I want. I like the ability to lay out the work I need to get done and then execute, without being micromanaged.

3. Culture and Coworkers - Epic colleagues are some of the best and brightest people I have ever worked with. Almost everyone is competent and determined to make sure projects are successful and that we have a fun time while we work. You can give a ring to anyone, and they are likely to be ready to jump into action and help you. Also, the campus is probably the most creative work environment in the entire United States.

4. Benefits - The benefits package and compensation levels are fantastic and far exceed what you would find in comparable companies.

5. Hard to be bored - There is so much you can take interest in here at Epic. Whether you want to focus on project management, pure software knowledge and improvement, or executive engagement, it is hard to find any one day like another. New people, new projects, fresh work-life.

Sometimes non-stop travel can wear you down a bit, and sometimes the work piles up to stressful levels, but none of this comes close to overcoming the benefits of the position.

Stop building more campuses. We have enough already. #befrugal
