Epic Systems

• Enjoyable, meaningful work.
• Ability to advance in a variety of ways.
• Challenging, generally meaningful work.
• Great co-workers.
• Good place to learn and grow.

All Cons relate to high-level management:

• Company upper leadership is sclerotic. They make large decisions without an understanding of the implications or how to communicate them to make them successful.
• Deep disregard for employee wellbeing, epitomized by a poor response to COVID-19 and work from home.
• Lip service to the idea of valuing "feedback" and "dissent" papers over decision-making that doesn't care what people think.
• Demotion of managers (not me, but respected colleagues) who speak up against bad ideas which hurt employees and the company.
• Pushing out high-performing employees in service of a static (delusional) vision of culture.

The company feels like a completely different place than it did four months ago. Previously, I used to enjoy work and feel like I was a valuable part of the team/company. Now, every day feels like a reminder of how little the company cares about its employees.

Learn to adapt to and direct change, rather than fearing and punishing it.

Take seriously the value of dissent/disagreement. You've made unforced errors and are losing good people because you have done a bad job of (and actively pushed away) listening, learning, and improving your decision-making and communication.
