Pros

While working at Epic, you will test your ability to adapt and learn every day, as well as work with incredibly smart and talented people in a team.

Cons

Unfortunately, while working at Epic, you will do more and more work as your boss exploits you and your supposed "free time". The learning curve is steep, the in-house training is not enough, and the work environment is dehumanizing.

Working at Epic is not friendly to those who wish to raise a family, since you'll work long hours just to keep up with the overwhelming amount of work that makes you feel like you're drowning.

Advice to Management

For management: Please work on retention and creating a working environment that actually makes an employee feel comfortable.

While I was at Epic, I heard things from colleagues such as: Epic is just a revolving door of 24-year-olds since the company hires recent college grads, exploits them for a few years as well as underpays them, and then they leave.
