Good salary and perks, smart and young colleagues, and doing work with large impact. Epic has the reputation of requiring very long hours, but I found it possible to keep up with the basic requirements of the job on less than 40 hours.
Judy (CEO) is crazy and in complete control. There is a two-hour staff meeting every month that every Epic employee must attend. Judy uses much of this time to rant off the top of her head about topics that are relevant to no one.
It seems impossible to be promoted to a management position unless you're willing to work 50+ hours per week. My impression is that the "culture" will never ever change.
Also, the software development process at Epic is a huge mess because they basically refuse to hire anyone with prior experience. I participated on one project where each and every one of the four developers were brand new at Epic (had started just months ago) and had no development experience except a CS degree.
Promote based on merit rather than hours. The staff meeting is a ridiculous waste of time.
The interview process was overly long. When they offered me a position, they gave me less than 48 hours to make a decision, meanwhile they dragged on the interview process for over a month, including a 6-hour-long interview on one day.

The interview process itself was long and a little drawn out. There were multiple steps throughout, and it somewhat seemed repetitive. It was hard to think of questions to ask at each stage. Everyone was very polite and helpful, though.
