Pros

Looks good on resume Decent pay for recent grads Cool office Good health benefits (which you'll need for all the therapy that you'll need to do this job)

Cons

Expect to work a lot of overtimes and weekends Very little appreciation for hard work You will be fired or will be threatened with termination for the slightest mistake (even if if wasn't your fault) Cultish company culture Ridiculous learning curve

Honestly most people who work here hate it. Your TL (your boss) can also really make or break your experience at Epic. If they don't like you or are incompetent at their job your life will be miserable. If you're on the fence about whether to take this job, be warned: they will woo you with cool offices, sabbatical, and a young work environment but this job will eat your soul. DO NOT WORK HERE IF POSSIBLE. MINIMUM WAGE IS BETTER.

Advice to Management

Treat your employees like you value them. Improve and lengthen training. Don't push for quick releases, it hurts the customer and puts unnecessary stress on the employees. Improve your management structure so employees don't suffer because of bad TLs. You say at staff meetings, "what you put up with is what you stand for." As it currently stands you don't really stand for much.
