Epic Systems

Free juice and milk. The health care industry may have a bright future.

No personal life. Working over 60 hours a week to meet the deadline.

No one really appreciates your hard work. The team lead has bad time management over big projects. As a team, he/she will ask you to finish a project in one week even though it should take one month.

No time to do good design (or even think), so endless bugs come out of the released development. Then you spend more time fixing those bugs (they call them QA notes).

Not too much about your programming skills but about "different workflow" in the clinical world. You need to remember lots of "system settings" before actually coding.

M and VB are bad languages in the 21st century.

You work here for one year and quit, or work here for ten years because your working experience is only valuable inside this company.

The company culture doesn't encourage employees to tell the truth. Even if you feel lots of pressure and too much work to do, keep it to yourself because your team lead won't care and people around won't complain about this.

Consider treating employees as human beings, not machines.
