Epic Systems

Smart coworkers. Beautiful campus. If you're autodidactic, you can learn a lot fast.

Leadership is out of touch. Leadership does not respect employees. Leadership openly flaunted COVID precautions mandated by health authorities. It took incessant public shaming for them to (sort of) change course. Unhealthy work-life balance. Corporate culture encourages burnout. As a result, many employees, however nice, are high-strung and difficult to work with. Often, it feels like advancement is based more on how much you drink the Kool-Aid than on merit. It's also heavily influenced by a personality test all employees take at hire (Rembrandt Advantage). Such tests are rarely more than horoscopes for people who don't believe in horoscopes, regardless of what the test makers claim. A very vocal minority of employees imagines Epic can do no wrong, and anyone who sees issue with its corporate culture is wrong at best and a traitor at worst. Those people also tend to be very average employees. The combination of their demeanor and abilities can make work quite unpleasant if you have one of them as a coworker. Managers are, for the most part, powerless and kept in the dark for important personnel decisions.
