Epic Systems

• Friendly and helpful coworkers.
• Cafeteria food is cheap, tasty, and offers a lot of options.
• Lots of different opportunities offered to folks with low tenure (nice if you’re looking to try a lot of new things early on in your career).
• Annual (merit-based) raises. Everyone gets a raise, but the amount depends on performance.
• Good opportunity for fresh college grads.
• Job security due to being in the healthcare industry.
• Good healthcare plans.

• Upper management is very out of touch. They don’t listen to their staff, even when many people are unhappy and leaving in large numbers.

• A lot is expected of staff, too much. The best example of this is that consistently logging 40 hours a week will be negatively perceived, and your team leader will likely bring it up with you.

• Lots of opportunities being offered can be a pro at first, but it never really stops, so it’s easy to get burnt out, especially because there is nothing you can take on that will directly correlate with a raise. Even taking on a new role like becoming a team lead will not get you a pay raise.

• There is absolutely zero flexibility with working from home. Most people I do think would be satisfied by a hybrid model, but it will never happen, at least not as long as our current CEO is in charge.

• The 401k offering is meh. Not bad, but could be more competitive.

Listen to your staff when they are unhappy. A lot of them are critical because they care about their job and the software.

Create some flexibility around WFH.
